Old Bridge, Pontypridd

The Old Bridge ((ウェールズ語:Yr Hen Bont)), which is now also known as the William Edwards Bridge or Pontypridd Bridge,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council )〕〔 was originally known as the New Bridge or Newbridge,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=someplacenamesinsouthwales.4t.com )〕 it is an arched single-span footbridge that spans the River Taff at Pontypridd in Wales. The bridge was built by William Edwards and was completed in 1756.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council ) 〕 The bridge now has statutory protection as a scheduled ancient monument and is grade I listed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Pontypridd Bridge, Pontypridd )

In 1746 when William Edwards was just 27 years of age, he was commissioned by the Hundreds of Miskin and Caerphilly to build a three-arch bridge across the River Taff. For this he was paid the sum of GB£500, on condition that he would maintain it for seven years.〔〔
