Usk & Railway Inn, Sennybridge

The name of this pub refers to the fact that it is located in the upper Usk valley and that the railway from Neath to Brecon passed through here. Sadly the railway has long gone and customers must nowadays arrive via the A40 which passes to the right of the building. Sennybridge largely owes its existence to the railway; the neighbouring village of Defynnog is older and, in fact, the station located close to the pub was called simply Devynock until 1913 (using the Anglicised spelling) before becoming Devynock & Sennybridge. Note the banner advertising the Sennybridge show to be held on 2nd September.
