Conwy Suspension Bridge was built in 1826 by Thomas Telford and was one of the first road suspension bridges in the world. Located in the medieval town of Conwy in North Wales, it crosses the River Conwy and forms part of the old trading link to Dublin. The bridge was built into the rock on which Castle Conway stands. Because of this proximity, Telford designed the supporting towers of the bridge to match the turrets of the castle. Today the bridge is only passable by foot. It has a fine example of a Victorian Toll House decorated as it would have been in the late 19th century.
