More about this scene
This finely proportioned bridge was constructed in 1779 and widened in 1820. Builth grew up under the shadow of the castle, which was rebuilt by Edward I in 1277. Although a fire destroyed some 40 houses in 1690, the town as we know it flourished in later centuries owing to the attraction of its restorative spring waters, which led to 'Wells' being added to the town's name.
