Barmouth Bridge in 1987
I walked across the bridge (which is half a mile in length) from the other side and back.
Barmouth Bridge
Looking along the railway-cum-pedestrian-cum-bicycle-cum-motorcycle bridge towards Braich Ddu, the mountain in the hazy distance.
Barmouth Bridge and Braich Ddu
The near part of the bridge is designed to swing to let taller vessels through, but, according to the toll-keepers, this has not happened for decades. Braich Ddu is the mountain in the right distance.

In Barmouth
Barmouth is squeezed between the sea and the mountains. An alleyway near the market is backed by cliffs.
Barmouth Bridge/Pont Abermaw
This wonderful wooden structure was opened in 1867.
If you want to walk across the bridge, the toll is currently 90p.

Barmouth Beach
Blue sky and White sand. Could almost be the Bahamas! But no, The temperature tells you it's Barmouth.
The Roundhouse, Barmouth
On 21st of October 1830 the civic dignitaries of Barmouth met to discuss the problem of controlling drunken brawls in the town. A town lock-up was decided upon, Completed in 1834 it continued in use until the police station opened in 1861. They are in great need today. Every town should have one, or several !
The strange structure on the grass is a surprisingly comfortable seat. It bears the inscription "Glyndwr 1840". I can only assume this to be the name of an old timber framed ship from which it came. There is a similar one nearby bearing the name "Lady Vaughan 1826" See SH6115 : Lady Vaughan 1826.
Lady Vaughan 1826.
The above title is the inscription on this seat adjacent to the Roundhouse on Barmouth's promenade. It appears to be part of the hull of a small timber framed ship. It is surprisingly comfortable. Given a couple of cushions, I could have been there for hours.
