The suspension bridge and adjacent railway bridge replicate the original arrangement of the Menai Bridge and Britannia Bridge in miniature, which I think is quite cool.
Since the Britannia Bridge fire in 1970 the Conwy bridge is now the only surviving tubular design by Robert Stephenson; I believe it’s also of the only surviving tubular bridges in the world, as the design didn’t catch on but did influence box girder bridges.
