History

Mid to later C19 cast iron marker post on the Crumlin branch of the Monmouthshire Canal. Built by Thomas Dadford Junior 1792-9, the canal ran between Newport and Pontnewynydd, with this branch between Crindau and Crumlin. The canal and its many connected tramways were originally run by the Monmouthshire Canal Company. In 1845, with railway competition growing, the company gained permission to convert its tramways into railways and become the Monmouthshire Railway and Canal Company. This marker post has probably been resited.

Exterior

Canal post, cast-iron some 75cm high with triangular section. Two sides have raised white-painted lettering reading from top 'M R & C Co' for Monmouthshire Railway and Canal Company.
