Railway at Abergavenny

Taken from the temporary footbridge (erected as a replacement while the permanent footbridge was refurbished), looking towards Hereford. The line opened in 1853 as the Newport, Abergavenny & Hereford Railway, but merged with other companies in 1860 to become the West Midland Railway. Despite the London & North Western Railway having high hopes of exploiting the line to gain a foothold in a predominantly Great Western Railway area, the West Midland Railway was absorbed by the GWR shortly after its formation.
