Aeron Express : ウィキペディア英語版 | Aeron Express The Aeron Express was the name used for a hand-powered aerial cable ferry that was built to ferry people across the harbour in the West Wales coastal town of Aberaeron. The ferry was first built in 1880 to ferry labourers from the Liverpool quay on Quay Parade, to the Birkenhead quay on Lon Yr Hafen, in the absence of a bridge across the River Aeron. == History == The original transport, on the principle of the flying fox, was constructed by Captain John Evans in 1885, after a flood had destroyed the former road bridge. The single-seat carriage was enlarged to carry two people, and later four or more.〔(Aeron Express ) Photographs at Ceredigion Library〕〔(Aberaeron in the past ) Photographs at Aberaeron West Wales〕 It operated well into the twentieth century and was eventually replaced with a footbridge.
