View along the tow path towards Pant. The abutments of the railway bridge can be seen. This railway line was originally the Cambrian Railway Llanfyllyn Branch which was subsequently by-passed with deviation. However, it was retained as far as Llanymynech Lime Works. Following the closure of the Lime Works the "Rock Siding" as it had become known was used by the GWR for the storage or redundant rolling stock until recovery took place in 1939..
