Railway Transfer Dock at Welshpool is a Post-Medieval transport structure associated with the development of railway infrastructure in mid-Wales. The dock facilitated the transfer of goods between rail and canal transport, reflecting the integrated transport networks of the nineteenth century. Located at Welshpool, a significant market town in Powys, the structure represents the practical engineering solutions adopted during the period when railways were expanding across Wales and beginning to supersede earlier transport methods. The site is now designated as a scheduled ancient monument under the care of Cadw, recognising its historical importance to understanding industrial and commercial development in the region.
