Breidden railway station (site), Powys
Opened in 1862 as "Middletown" by the Shrewsbury & Welshpool Railway on the line between those places, this line was jointly owned by the Great Western and London & North Western Railway. The station name was changed to "Middletown Hills in 1919, and to "Breidden" in 1928. It closed in 1960.
View east towards Plas-y-Court and Shrewsbury. This was a passing point on an otherwise single line, unusually with staggered platforms. The Welshpool-bound platform was in the near distance to the right of the track, the Shrewsbury-bound platform just beyond the curve, to the left of the track. See Image for a nearer view taken 67 years previously.
