Lost Lines of England and Wales

P Essex G.

Description

Opened in 1876 and closed to passengers in 1959, the Wye Valley Railway ran from Wye Valley Junction (just north of Chepstow) to Monmouth Troy. The scenic beauty of the lower Wye Valley, evident in many of the archive photographs collected for this volume, was well utilised by the Great Western Railway to promote tourism and many of its structures still survive. This includes Tintern station, now in use as a visitor centre in this very popular tourist area, with the local attractions of Tintern Abbey, Symonds Yat and the Forest of Dean.
