Conwy, Wales: A Medieval Castle and the Ironworks of Robert Louis Stevenson's Railway Bridge This photograph, taken circa 1905, showcases the picturesque town of Conwy in Wales, with its iconic medieval castle and the winding River Conwy. The scene is dominated by the imposing Conwy Castle, which was built between 1283 and 1289 during the late 13th century under the command of Edward I. The castle's impressive stone walls and towers, standing tall against the backdrop of the Welsh landscape, have withstood the test of time and continue to draw visitors from around the world. In the foreground, the intricate arches of the Conwy Suspension Bridge, designed by Thomas Telford, can be seen, albeit partially obscured by the more recent Conwy Railway Bridge. The railway bridge, built by the renowned Scottish author and engineer Robert Louis Stevenson and officially opened in 1849, is a marvel of wrought iron engineering. Measuring 412 feet long and weighing an impressive 1300 tonnes, the tubular bridge was a groundbreaking achievement in its time. The intricate latticework of the bridge's wrought iron tubes adds an industrial contrast to the otherwise idyllic scene, highlighting the rich history and evolution of engineering in Conwy and Wales.
