Welshpool, Wales. - a photo on Flickriver

Welshpool, Wales.

            The Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (Narrow Gauge) ran between the houses and into the centre of Welshpool.         

When a new road was created the line was severed in the 1960s (I think) and scenes like this were lost although part of the line still exists and runs as a preserved railway.   

I'm unsure why the track is surrounded by Wood and has big slots/drops between the rails - maybe this was part of the shed?

The whole scene oozes character with the old cars, gas lamps and local people.

Taken on: January 1, 1955
