Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The Great Western Railway was created by Act of Parliament in 1835 to provide a double-tracked line from Bristol to London. The GWR continued to expand its rail network across western England and Wales. Following the reorganisation of Britain's railway network in 1948, the Great Western Railway became the Western Region of British Railways. The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal was under the jurisdiction of the Railways Executive (Western Region) until 1947, when it was transferred to the Docks and Inland Waterways Executive.
