Tramway Embankment of Grosmont Railway

A Scheduled Monument in Crucorney (Crucornau Fawr), Monmouthshire (Sir Fynwy)

Grosmont Railway, Monmouthshire

Uploader's Comments

The tramroad was a plateway. L-shaped cast iron rails carried trucks with flangeless wheels pulled by horses. The plates were secured to the stone blocks with iron nails hammered into wooden plugs which were inserted into the holes seen on the top of the blocks.
