Penallt Viaduct, over the River Wye on the border of England and Wales, United Kingdom. Wednesday 20th of March 2013.
About this photograph.
This old bridge is the Penallt Viaduct. It is a single-track curved bridge supported by four cast iron columns, located on the River Wye between the villages of Redbrook in Gloucestershire, England, and Penallt in Monmouthshire, Wales.
This bridge used to carry the Wye Valley Railway until 1959, but it is in use as a public footpath for crossing the river. There is a public house called The Boat Inn very closely near the bridge on the Wales side.
This is facing northeast. Those buildings are of Redbrook village, the car park is barely noticeable just slightly to the right of the middle of the photo.
Why I took the photographs?
I took those photographs as my own stock images for my own graphic design projects. They would make good background images for any artwork I may create. I could use the stock images as movie poster or book cover, whatever graphic design projects I come up with that may need an image of an old bridge to be imported into the design.
And also, I was taking my best friend whom was born in Wales, out for lunch. I told her I would be taking her out for lunch in Wales, so I drove to Wales and she was pleased. I turned off the main road, and she noticed we were back in England and said something like “I thought you were taking me to Wales for lunch?”
Little did she know that I had done research of the area, I parked my car at a car park on the riverbank in the village of Redbrook, on the England side very near the bridge. We walked to the bridge and crossed over it, then I told her that “We’re in Wales now.” After that, I took her to the small pub on the Wales side for lunch.
She found it funny, thinking I’m taking her to lunch in Wales, when I arrived in Redbrook, she thought it was not going to be lunch in Wales, but when I took her over the bridge, she now finds that we are going to have lunch in Wales after all.
About the subject.

A limited goods and mineral services carried on until 1964, after that it was finally closed.
