The Grade II Listed Britannia Bridge spanning the Menai Strait

• Britannia Bridge was originally known as a  tubular bridge after it's completion on March 5th 1850, but after a major fire devastated the bridge in May 1970, a major reconstruction of the bridge was carried out, it is now known as a two-tier truss bridge.

• The bridge was built just decades after the Menai Suspension Bridge because of the demand for a rail link between Chester and Holyhead which faciliated a sea link over to Dublin.

• The design of the bridge was entrusted to Robert Stephenson

• The bridge received Grade II Listed status in March 1966.
