Pont Cysyllte is a 17th-century road bridge crossing the River Dee near the village of Trevor, Wrexham County Borough, Wales. It lies 200 m west of Thomas Telford's Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.
The sandstone bridge is dated '1697', though it was substantially rebuilt during the 18th century, and only the south arch and part of the south pier are original. The bridge comprises three arches, with full-height triangular cutwaters between each arch, each topped by a pedestrian refuge. The older south arch has a span of 10.7 m and the north arches have spans of 14 metres and 14.2 metres.
The bridge has been regularly damaged by motor vehicles being, at its narrowest, only 1.83 metres feet wide. Vehicles are supposed to stop before crossing and give priority to any oncoming vehicle already on the bridge.
References:The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.
Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
