Old Leckwith Bridge, Stone bridge in Canton, Cardiff, United Kingdom.
The Old Leckwith Bridge extends across the River Ely with three arches constructed of rubblestone and includes pedestrian refuges above pointed cutwaters.
Built in the early 16th century, the bridge underwent reconstruction of its central arch during the 18th century while maintaining its medieval characteristics.
The structure received Grade II* listed status in 1952, reflecting its position among the most important historical bridges in Wales.
The bridge maintains a width of 2.75 meters and currently serves goods vehicles accessing the adjacent builders' yards in the area.
A newer concrete bridge from 1935 stands next to this medieval structure, creating a visible timeline of bridge construction methods through centuries.
