Newport 200716 080207
Newport Railway remains.
Part of the Bolt Street loco depot and Works, started in 1857 and expanded in stages to 1897. Ten locos were built here between 1867 and 1875 and it seems to have been replaced by the new depot in 1920, although the coal stage was still standing in 1965 at least. Beyond the building (looking from this direction) was the later Dock Street coal depot, which continued in use until 1991.
For more info, I highly recommend Railways and Industry in the Western Valley - Newport to Aberbeeg - by John Hodge ISBN 978 1 47383 8 079.
