| We now walk back from the first missing Tanat river bridge to Blodwell Junction. This walk was undertaken thanks to the landowner the Williams Family. This trackbed is part of the Old Potts Line that ran to Llanymynech from Blodwell Junction. On another album which I'll hopefully add soon, I've walked the trackbed from the opposite side of the Tanat river bridge to another missing Tanat river bridge. The main thing that tells us of the trackbeds existence is the boundary hedge on the one side of the former railway. |
