Boughrood toll bridge was built c.1838-42 by the Maesllwych Estate at the cost of £5,890, to facilitate the movement of coal, coke and lime to Brecon from Radnorshire, replacing a ford and ferry. Tolls were discontinued in 1934. Constructed of rock-faced squared rubble. Four equal span segmental 75cm arches springing from cutwaters with keeled tops, rising as pilasters to parapet level. One low flood arch at each end. The west end of the bridge was later rebuilt and incorporates weep pipes. On the north parapet there are three 20th century tall cast iron lamp standards by Sugg. The bridge crosses into Boughrood parish in Radnorshire where there is a Gothic style toll house erected in 1843 (NPRN: 303820).
