Modern-day Bow Street

Railway line  

Left: The single-track railway line running northwards out of Bow Street towards Machynlleth. The view is from the railway bridge.

Sadly, I discovered that Bow Street no longer has a railway station. The nearest station is at Aberystwyth, three miles to the southwest.


Site of station
Above: Looking south from the railway bridge towards where the station was once situated.

Site of station
Above: Looking down-line from the same viewpoint as the previous picture. Aberystwyth is three miles away.

Site of station
Above: Most of the former railway station site is now occupied by this builder's yard.
Looking across the yard from the A487 one can see a chapel rising above the surroundings.

Noddfa Chapel
Above and below right: Just over the railway bridge is Noddfa Congregational Chapel, overlooking the railway line.
