Llandinam Bridge

Built in 1846 to the design of the Montgomeryshire County Surveyor Thomas Penson, but very much in the style of a number of cast iron bridges by the famous engineer Thomas Telford. It was cast at an ironworks at Hawarden in North Wales, which had bought some of Telford's castings by that stage. It was Grade II* listed Link

in 1994. The railings at the western end still have the SO0288 : Council axle weight restriction on Llandinam Bridge sign dated 1906, limiting motor cars to 3 tons per axle.
