Pontypridd
- Entertainment and attractions - The
name Pontypridd is from the Welsh for "Bridge by the earthern
house". The bridge in question was a footbridge across the
River Taff. Pontypridd is, however, more famous for the Old Bridge,
a stone bridge across the Taff built in 1755 by William Edwards.
The famous single-arch bridge (photo) at Pontypridd was built
in native stone, regarded at the time as an architectural feat
because it was the longest one-arch bridge in the country. |
