Chain Bridge, Berwyn
The original chain bridge was constructed in 1814. It was constructed by Exuperious Pickering to facilitate the transfer of coal and lime from his mines between the Llangollen Canal and the main A5.
The original chain bridge was refurbished and strengthened by Sir Henry Robertson, who owned the nearby Brymbo Steel Works in 1870.
It is currently in a poor state of repair and is inaccessible.
