Background
History
A bridge over the River Teifi at Cenarth has existed at least since 1188, when it was mentioned in the writings of Gerald of Wales. The present bridge was constructed between 1785 and 1787 by Messrs Watkins and Webb. ]] The bridge was designed to carry horse-drawn vehicles and has three stone arches which span 11.6 m, 11.9 m and 12.2 m. This feature was used by Edwards's father William, who used six holes in the Old Bridge at Pontypridd to reduce the weight and pressure on the centre section. The accounts for the local quarter sessions show that in 1787 David Edwards was paid £2.12s.2d ster. for half his fee. The bridge is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
