New Inn Bridge.

At the entrance to Merthyr Mawr village is the Dipping Bridge .It was built in the 15th century with holes in the parapets where farmers once pushed reluctant sheep into the River Ogmore for a seasonal dip. The bridge has four arches with two openings to allow the sheep to be pushed in. At the side of the bridge once stood an Inn where the landlord would rob and murder travelers en route to St.David's shrine. The bridge is only about ten minutes away, as i am still croc. Instead of the runny nose i now have a persistent cough. Oh, the joys of Winter.
