1. Title: A Glorious Era: The Viaduct of Barmouth, Glamorgan, Wales (1920s) 2.. The Viaduct of Barmouth, located near the picturesque town of Dolgellau in Glamorgan, Wales, stands as a testament to the engineering marvels of the past. This photograph, captured in the 1920s, showcases the grandeur and elegance of this historic structure, which spans the Mawddach Estuary. Built during the late 19th century, the Barmouth Viaduct was a vital transportation link between the coastal town of Barmouth and the inland town of Dolgellau. The viaduct's impressive design, featuring 14 arches and a total length of 1,260 feet, allowed trains to pass over the estuary, connecting the two towns and facilitating the growth of the region's economy.
