  • Relisted "1922 Builth Wells" as "1839 Builth Wells" across the River Irfon at Builth Wells, Wales, United Kingdom.

The Builth Wells inventory entry has been modified to track the 1839 structure, more commonly identified with Builth Wells, that was a suspension bridge with a slightly droopy appearance. This 1839 structure was replaced in 1984 by a stayed footbridge known as the Rhosferig Bridge.
