Description
King's Bridge carries the road from Pentrefelin to Berwyn over the Llangollen Canal (nprn 405725), the River Dee and beneath the Llangollen and Corwen Railway viaduct (nprn 34760). It was built in 1902-1906 and named to commemorate the Coronation of King Edward VII. Built of rock-faced rubble with arches in blue engineering brick, the bridge has five segmental arches set on three water piers at the south end and is threaded through one arch of the 1862 railway viaduct. The piers have triangular cutwaters on the upstream side. The northern arch spans the Llangollen Canal and is numbered 49A in the canal bridge series.
