Long Description:
The engineer Thomas Telford built this Bridge in 1826 as part of
his commission to improve the condition on the Chester to Bangor
Road. The Bridge retains most of the original features; including
the original chains and one of the original Telford style Sunburst
gates. The Bridge was built in a mock castle-style to complement
the Castle. In 1958 the building of the new Road Bridge led to its
closure and demolition was a real possibility. A campaign led to
the council setting up a fund allowing the bridge to be acquired
and preserved by the National Trust in 1965.
