Water tower and signal box at Corwen
A new 2,000-gallon pillar-type water tower has been installed.
The five-tonne tower, fabricated by Barnett Engineering Ltd of Rhosllanerchrugog, draws water from a special bore hole.

The wooden structure has been in storage in the station yard at Carrog since it was recovered from the level crossing at Weston Rhyn on the Shrewsbury to Chester railway more than 20 years ago.

Llangollen Railway :: SJ1143

Originally part of a cross-country route from Ruabon to Barmouth, the Llangollen Railway is now a heritage line predominantly operated by steam locomotives. It runs for ten miles through the Dee Valley between Llangollen and Corwen. The line was originally opened in 1865 but fell victim to the Beeching era cuts, closing to passengers in 1965. It was re-opened section by section from 1975, reaching Carrog in 1996 and Corwen in 2014.
