38) Old Railway Bridge, Velindre


I mentioned in my comments about the sketch of Velindre Bridge from Tydraw Hill that there are only two ways in and out of Velindre. This is the second. The old bridge used to carry a single track railway line which I believe ran from the Afan Valley to the docks. The road out of Velindre runs underneath the bridge.
