The River Taff and bridges at Pontypridd on 14 May 2024.

 

A view upstream on the River Taff at Pontypridd, with the Victoria Bridge of 1857 nearer and behind it the William Edwards Bridge of 1756. The older bridge is Grade 1 Listed and scheduled as an ancient monument. At the time of its completion, its 140ft / 43 m arch was the longest in Britain (and one of the longest in the world), and remained such for forty years.
