Maescar - Pont Senni

This is a view (south-)west down the main street A40 through Sennybridge. An information board in the car park off the left of shot states that the car park is adjacent to the old Brecon & Neath railway. Unfortunately, there is no evidence of the dismantled railway by the car park. The only sign I could find is that the large yellow building is a pub called "The Usk Railway".
