Nantoer railway bridge, Abergavenny
This is one of two bridges carrying the Welsh Marches Line over the A40 about a kilometre south of Abergavenny railway station. This one carries the railway over the Abergavenny-bound carriageway of the A40. The other bridge is about 130 metres to the north, over the carriageway for vehicles leaving Abergavenny. The identification on the roadside wall of the bridge is Nantoer 23m 34c HNL.
Kevin Flynn says that this indicates 23 miles and 34 chains from Rotherwas Junction on the Hereford and Newport Line. Rotherwas, a mile south of Hereford station, is no longer a junction. It was where the line to Ross-on-Wye (which closed in 1964) diverged from the main line.

B4598 heads south away from the A40, Abergavenny
Formerly the road ahead, now the B4598, was the A40. It was reclassified after a new dual carriageway road nearby became the A40. For several miles ahead, in the direction of Raglan, the B4598 and the A40 follow more or less parallel routes, about 100 metres apart.

Northern end of the B4598, Abergavenny
The Give Way sign is at the northern of the B4598, at the junction with the A40.
For several miles to the south east and then east, the road that is now the B4598 was formerly the A40, before the opening of the dual carriageway that is now the A40.
