I wish I had a pound for every time I've crossed over that bridge on the way to and from school, mass (before the Carmelites sold Tregyb to the local authority to build a comprehensive school) and finally Cartref Awel Tywi Residential Home to visit Mum and Dad.
When built (and maybe still now) it was the longest single span stone bridge in Wales. 
And if Auntie Eirlys (who died aged 102) spoke truly one of our Thomas ancestors (paternal grandma's side) was one of the stonemasons who built it. 
Although Thomas is such a common surname in Carmarthenshire it would be hard to prove.
