Dist:0.4km<br/>Now being used for storage. The area which was previously the railway line now has industrial units built on. The "new" station would have been just to the right of this photograph. Behind the former goods shed is Kington Ambulance Station.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The building on the right was originally the terminus station of the Kington and Eardisley Railway. When the New Radnor Extension Railway was built a new station was also built, following the re-alignment. This new alignment ran approximately to the left of the road.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking now like a Victorian terraced house, there has been a pub here for more than 200 years. Originally called the House in the Fields, it became the Railway Tavern when the trains came, changing again to its present identity when the line finally closed in 1964. Until recently beer was brewed here, but it is still highly rated, winning the local CAMRA title in 2009.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The original Kington railway station, provided when the lines from Leominster and Eardisley terminated here. A solid Victorian pile, resplendent in BR(W) chocolate and cream paintwork. Nothing substantial remains of the 'new' station, built to serve the through route to New Radnor, although the splendid goods shed looks good for another century.

Dist:0.5km<br/>I suspect this house that was near Kington station would have been the station masters house.

Dist:0.5km<br/>In my efforts to track the New Radnor line and where it went I come to Kington where this good shed remains, the station would have been opposite and the rail way would have lead off in the left of the photo.

Dist:0.5km<br/>A good number of buildings remain to remind us of the Kington railways. This is the best goods shed and it is virtually unaltered since it saw its last train in 1964.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This is as far as I can make out where the old railway went though now a plant hire company uses part of it and the sewage works on the rest.
