Watton Wharf & Bridge 165, Monmouthshire-Brecon Canal, Brecon 23 August 2017

Now tranquil, in the 1850s, Watton Wharf was a thriving industrial wharf loading and unloading coal, lime and limestone for and from the adjacent Watton limekilns. On the far bank, a tramway went on to Hay on Wye and beyond. See adjacent photograph for a depiction if the same scene in the 1850s.
