About this title

Synopsis

Fascinating history of the two horse-drawn railways that once served Hay-on-Wye and Kington. The Hay Railway and the Kington Railway were the longest railways (36 miles) in the UK until the opening of the Grand Junction Railway in 1837. The railways served the Welsh border area for over 40 years, hauling coal and iron from the Brecknock & Abergavenny Canal to Hay and Kington. With 14 maps. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos and charming line drawings. 132 pages with index.
