Looking out from the railway bridge at Kinnerley Junction. This bridge straddled the now almost vanished Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway, known as The Potts. This was from the original company Potteries Shrewsbury and North Wales Railway which later became the Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway and was intended to link the Potteries area of Staffordshire with Dublin in the Irish Republic. The line opened in 1866 and finally closed in 1962 having been in private and military ownership during its lifetime. Kinnerley Junction station opened in 1911 and closed in 1933. From this point there was a 5 mile branch to a quarry at Criggion. The land on this route is private and there is no public access. Taken at 3.09 pm BST (British Summer Time). Image Image Image Image
