Why was this bridge built?

[@hywelrees3667]

I'm really enjoying these videos - thanks for going to the effort. Some great local history.

[@bobsrailrelics]

My pleasure. I have a few short videos coming out in the next few weeks on all sorts while I script up another series.

Never seen the branch Line from the ground, it's always on the train, very nice video.

Thanks, I just happened to be going past on a bus and it caught my eye. Stopped on the way back. There is so much incredible architecture under the valley lines, some of it very old.

[@bobsrailrelics]

I used to work on Lower Dock street. When I see photos of how it used to be it is unrecognisable

[@marksmatchboxmemories-xd6qp]

@@bobsrailrelics yup, you would never know, what was there.

Big thanks for this one - I'm Loving Learning About Wales Rails with Bob! 🙂 Then occasionally a Water Wonder like this one comes along. More please 😊

[@bobsrailrelics]

Thanks, having a few weeks short break but there is a new one dropping soon.

@@bobsrailrelics Enjoy!

Nice little tidbit, Bob 👍🏻

[@bobsrailrelics]

Thanks, just looked at it and thought it was odd that it was a bridge and not an embankment

[@fhwolthuis]

@@bobsrailrelics at first I thought it was about the cage 😁
