This apparently nondescript view has historical interest for two reasons. The road now leads to fields, but formerly was part of the B4350 from Hay-on-Wye. The road was straightened to follow a route a little to the south, bypassing this section. Secondly, the road leads to the remains http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1940829 of a railway bridge, part of the former Hereford, Hay and Brecon Railway which opened for traffic in 1864 and closed (as part of the nationalised British Railways) in 1962.
