Llanbister Road railway station, Powys Opened in 1867 by the Central Wales Railway on what became today's line from Swansea to Craven Arms and Shrewsbury.
View north east towards Llangynllo and Craven Arms. The disused platform to the right is the former southbound platform, which has had that delightful pond for around 40 years.

Ferley A small farm on the south side of Beacon Hill. It appears that one of the old grown out hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) hedges has been grubbed up, as there is a pile of thorn wood in the field. Any logs would be worth salvaging, as hawthorn is a fine firewood, but there is a fear of the plant in this area, especially the flowers which should never ever be brought into the house.
