BROCKWEIR BRIDGE 1906 near Tintern Abbey {N51o 41’ 58.6” W2o 40’ 58.7”
This late cast iron girder bridge supported on rather thin masonry piers spans the Wye River just upstream from Tintern Abbey. Its decorative X patterned white painted railings make a bold contrast to the sylvan setting. It replaced a ferry service there and ws perhaps built by the Rye Valley Rail Road so its customers could get their goods across the river to its station at Tintern. It was built in 1906 and restored in 1986.
