Pontypridd, in Rhondda Cynon Taf, had a population of around 29,500 at the 2021 census — home to one of the most celebrated stone bridges in Welsh history.
The bridge that made Pontypridd famous
Pontypridd's Old Bridge was completed in 1756 by the self-taught stonemason William Edwards, after three earlier attempts had been washed away or collapsed. Its single stone arch, spanning around 140 feet, was reputed at the time to be one of the longest single-span bridges anywhere in the world, and it still stands today alongside the town's newer road bridge.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Pontypridd's bridge-building history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
