Abstract: |
In August 2001 Archenfield Archaeology recorded a length of railway embankment immediately before its removal to permit housing development. This was at Norton Canon in Herefordshire, on the old Hereford and Brecon line, which went out of use in the 1960s. A note was made of its means of construction and the probable source of the materials. A brief history of the line was compiled, together with anecdotal evidence from the local newspaper and the diaries of the Rev. Francis Kilvert. |
