BRIDGE 52 – MONMOUTHSHIRE & BRECON CANAL (Pontymoile Basin)
It was here, in 1812 that the Brecon Canal was linked to the Monmouthshire Canal, creating the Monmouthshire-Brecon Canal, often referred to as “The Mon-Brec”.
Junction Cottage and the Pontymoile Narrows. The cottage was built in 1814, two years after the Brecon and Monmouthshire canals had been linked, hence “Junction Cottage.” It was built to house the toll keeper who assessed cargoes of pig iron etc. on boats passing through the Narrows. He was also responsible for lock maintenance and canal clearance on his “pound”.
