EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glance into the Past: The Permanently Locked Swing Bridge over River Neath, Neath, Port Talbot, South Wales 2.. Step back in time with this evocative image of the Swing Bridge over the River Neath in Neath, Port Talbot, South Wales. Opened in 1892, this historical railway bridge carried the former Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway near Skewen. With its elegant Victorian and Edwardian design, the Swing Bridge was a marvel of engineering innovation during the 1890s. The bridge, now permanently locked, once allowed the passage of trains and boats alike. The bridge's unique design enabled it to swing open to accommodate larger vessels passing through. This photograph, taken in 1909, captures the bridge in its prime, showcasing its intricate details and the bustling activity along the riverbank. The Swing Bridge at Neath is a testament to the rich industrial history of South Wales. It played a significant role in the transportation of coal and other resources from the Rhondda Valley to Swansea Bay and beyond. The bridge's permanent locking marks the end of an era, but its legacy continues to inspire awe and admiration for the ingenuity of the past. This image, taken from the extensive Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the remarkable engineering achievements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
