Bridge, dated 1845, by Thomas Penson, engineer.
Cast iron with ashlar abutments. Tooled and rusticated ashlar abutments and retaining walls on shallow curve to each side. Spanned by 4 longitudinal cast iron shallow curved braced ribs, carrying flat road bed. Cast iron plates with raised panels recording ' Thos Penson County Surveyor', R & W Jones Ruabon Foundry 1845'. Cast iron railings in 2 tiers, with segmentally arched decoration below iron hand rail.
A fine example of the use of local cast iron for bridge building, exploiting both its structural properties and decorative potential.
