◊ Clarence Bridge, Cardiff - The bridge over the River Taff from Grangetown to Butetown and the Docks. The following excellent technical description of the bridge is authored by David Webb, a volunteer at the Glamorgan Archives [599] : -

'Designed by Borough Engineer William Harpur, the bridge had an unusual design. The height of the River Taff (which was tidal at this point) precluded placing girders underneath the deck so they were placed above, but enclosed only the carriageway. Pedestrian footways ran outside the girders on either side. With a total length of 460 feet, the bridge had three spans; and to allow river traffic to pass, the central span could be rotated through ninety degrees.'
