History

Nantyderry station was built by the Newport, Abergavenny and Hereford Railway in 1854 and was worked at first by the London and North Western Railway. It became a part of the West Midland Railway in 1860 and the Great Western Railway in 1863. This building was the station-master's house, built at the same time as the station, and when the station closed in 1958 it was converted to an inn and the extensions were built.
