Just for completeness I think the pseudo Conway Bridge is the one at Newport Rhode Island.

I have a phobia of driving over that type of bridge and although it was about 5 or 6 years back it still send shivers down my back to see it again.

I could say it was just a horse in a field - but being fair I must say you are dead right - excuse the pun!    ;D

It is an old medieval pack-horse bridge, but known as Roman Bridge(already stated), or sometimes Penmachno Bridge.

Don't know of any other name. )*)&

There are also the Pandy Bridge and  Pont Rhyd-y-Gynnen nearby over the Afon Machno but they are more modern.

I first saw a painting of the bridge and the painting was called "hanging bridge" on account of the Ivy trailing down but of course that is not the bridge's name.  Although it is a packhorse bridge it is sometimes called Roman Bridge but it's Welsh name is Pont Rhyd Y Gynnen.
Well done Yorkie

It looks like the Chain Bridge at Llangollen but I'm not sure if it has another name.
