Foryd / Voryd Harbour and Bridge, Rhyl as seen from the newly completed sea defences with harbour & boats in foreground


The Foryd Bridge, crossing the river Clwyd at Rhyl, was opened in 1932. The bowstring girders provide the strength for the deck to cross the river in two spans, which rest on a central pier. The bridge was designed by RG Whitley, Flintshire’s county surveyor, and fabricated by Dorman, Long and Company of Middlesbrough. This was one of several highways projects in North Wales in the 1930s which helped sustain employment during the economic downturn.
