Crowds watching the sod-cutting ceremony at Pontywaen by the Countess of Powis. In the foreground are two large marquees whilst the ceremony is taking place in the distance under a banner that reads "Success to the Tanat Valley Light Railway." Note that JPJ004 is a similar view of the same event. The Montgomery County Times and Shropshire and Mid-Wales Advertiser dated 16th September 1899 gives an account of the proceedings.
