           That looks like the bridge on the B5103 over the Dee and the Llangollen Canal overlooking the Chain Bridge Hotel and the newly refurbished suspension bridge, so is the stone set in the railway viaduct or some similar structure nearby?

Well done Gwynant, that is spot on.     You did very well to get it from those few pictures.      &well&


Now if I had posted this one then  ME would be bound to get it.

A couple more photos of the bridge, one on the bridge looking in the opposite direction and the other taken from the Chain Bridge

Not been there for years ,last time I was there the chain bridge was closed to the public. I used to deliver wines spirits and keg beer to the chain bridge hotel back in 1963, driving a three ton lorry over the bridge crossing the canal was a task on its own and fun and games to turn around and go back over it again after delivery, good old days you,v brought back some good memories Hugo, thanks.

You are very welcome Snowcap.  We were going along the A5 when we saw the bridge and couldn't resist driving along it and later walking over it too.
It's very impressive but quite narrow with sharp bends at either end.  It was hard enough in the car but in a three ton lorry it must have tested your driving skills to the limit.
It's nice to have good memories like that.     $good$

Good to hear that the little suspension bridge has been refurbished, it was closed off and looking very unsafe when i was there a couple of years ago.

Nice photos Hollins and I'll have a wild guess at the St Asaph Business Park

Not quite, just over the border. This is the underside of the fab roof.
