Hard to believe that the Welshpool & Llanfair Railway steam-hauled trains ran between the buildings here until 1956 when the line was closed. When the railway re-opened as a tourist line, it was not possible for this part of the route to be re-established but there are proposals to operate over a different route into Welshpool.
