Usk Bridge, Abergavenny

The seven-arched bridge over the River Usk at Abergavenny is of medieval origin and has the the benefit of protection afforded by Listed status. The downstream arches and piers featured in the photograph date from the 1400s. On the upstream side a tramroad bridge of 1811 and further roadway and parapets of c.1868 were amalgamated with the old structure to make a bigger bridge.
