Details Bridge over the River Dee, designed by Thomas Telford, and built 1811-1813. It is a handsome three-span segmental-arched bridge with dressed stone arch rings and piers with coursed rubble spandrels. There are triangular cutwaters extended up to form four semi-hexagonal pedestrian refuges to each parapet. Repaired after flood damage in 1829. The bridge measures 200ft in length.
