The Bridges at Conwy
The Castle is situated next to the River Conwy which has three Bridges running across it. Thomas Telford’s Suspension Bridge was completed in 1826, and was one of the first road suspension bridges in the world; the bridge replaced the ferry, which before the construction of the bridge was the only way of crossing the river. Robert Stephenson’s Railway Bridge was completed in 1848 and officially opened in 1849. This was the first tubular bridge to be built. Today, Road traffic crosses the river via the Modern Conwy Bridge located adjacent to the Conwy suspension bridge, and the Conwy Tunnel, which is immersed under the Conwy River. However, the Railway Bridge is still used today between Llandudno Junction and the town of Conwy, and the Suspension Bridge is still accessible on foot for a small fee.
Our images are printed using premium K3 print technology on Hahnemühle Fine Art Torchon matt photographic paper. The special feature of the light white paper (285 g/m²) is its material: 100% alpha-cellulose defines the characteristically coarse texture. It gives your image a timeless, true-to-the-original charisma with a 3D effect. The hand-made style paper is highly water resistant and the use of premium K3 Epson prints ensures luminous colours and deep blacks for at least 100 years.
Textile print on stretcher frame – a fabric print using modern technology
Your image will be printed on fabric in razor-sharp quality and with brilliant colours and with its subtly textured surface; it transforms any photo into a unique gallery work that is full of life. During the thermal sublimation process, the colours are completely evaporated into the material. The resolution of up to 720 dpi and the enlarged CMYK colour spectrum allows accurate colour reproduction with clear contours. We only use textiles that are free of harmful substances and that have been awarded the internationally recognised Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. Your image is mounted on the solid wood stretcher frame in its true form using only, high quality stretcher frames made of solid wood. The spruce wood comes from German suppliers and is sourced from sustainable forests. To give the stretcher frames permanent protection from losing shape, we triple reinforce the corners under the textile print using metal braces. When mounting on the stretcher frame we avoid using wedges – the frame is so stable that you won't need to loosen or tighten it at a later stage and it will arrive ready to hang.
