When was the Abercynon suspension bridge built and how and when was it destroyed?

The suspension bridge (swinging bridge to us who used it) was built for the miners from the Carnetown area to get to Abercynon colliery. It was destroyed because it became unsafe. I'm afraid I don't know the exact dates but I can hazard a guess that it was built in the beginning of the 20th century & was demolished in the late 1940`s or early 1950`s
Further information:
The Bridge was apparently built in 1898. The bridge became unsafe due to flooding in 1942 (some sources say it was destroyed). However the exact date of demolition is unclear as other sources suggest that the bridge deck was replaced in the early 50's suggesting it remained intact until then.

What is the description of a suspension bridge?
There were 2 towers, and cables would be hanging from the towers. Hangers(or stringers) would be hanging from the cables.

That is a simple description of a suspension bridge.
