At the beginning of Queen Victoria's
reign transport across Mid-Wales depended on the
horse.
The wealthy travelled in their own carriages and employed staff to drive
them and to look after the horses. The less well off could pay to travel
on the stage coaches. Few working
people could afford this though. For them, travelling meant walking !
By the end of Queen Victoria's
reign, railways had connected the
area with a wider world. Working people were just beginning to have the
freedom and money to travel further, and the first motor
cars came to Radnorshire.
