Conwy, Castle c.1865

More about this scene
Set at the mouth of the River Conway, or Conwy, this mediaeval walled town with its famous castle, one of Edward I's 'iron ring' around Wales, is still remarkably self-contained. The new A55 road tunnel beneath the river diverts through-traffic from its streets. The quay is busy today with pleasure craft, rather than the commercial traffic of the past. This early photograph shows Conway Castle and Telford's graceful suspension bridge of 1826, with Stephenson's tubular railway bridge of 1848 just behind it. Today the road bridge of 1958 blocks the view of the earlier bridges.
