Summary

Description
English: A48 crosses former Swansea Vale Railway at Morriston. The west branch of the Vale railway is long gone (and the last short remnant of the disused eastern one is being torn up right now). The land here has been reused as the carpark for Mecca Bingo.

I had originally thought that this bridge was for the old Swansea Canal but Lee Hanford wrote to set me straight. Examining the old maps I have to agree that the canal and railway were separate here and that the canal was a little further east.

The eastern branch of the old railway can be seen here: 1460299 818331
