Long Bridge, Long Bridge Street, Newtown, Powys, Wales, UK - Stone Bridges on Waymarking.com

The Long Bridge a cross the River Severn was designed by the County Surveyor Thomas Penson in 1826. It replaced a wooden bridge which crossed the river from Broad Street to Frankwell Street, which was the main route out of the town.

Following the development of Penygloddfa on the north bank the new bridge was found to be too narrow for the increased traffic it was carrying so Penson added the iron-arched footways in 1857, replacing the original parapets.
