Llangollen Bridge
Llangollen Bridge - River with Rocks, Arched Bridge. Part of Box 145 Boswell Collection - East Coast. Llangollen takes its name from the Welsh llan meaning a religious settlement and Saint Collen, a 6th century monk who founded a church beside the river. St Collen is said to have arrived in Llangollen by coracle. As there are no other churches in Wales dedicated to St Collen, it is possible that he may have had connections in Colan in Cornwall and Langolen in Brittany
