The Old Railway Line Garden Centre was established by Mark and Christina Cleary in 1990 on the site of the old Brecon to Hereford Branch of the Midland Railway. The garden centre has continually grown since it was first established and has now become one of the UK's premier, destination garden centres. Three Cocks was a major junction within the Midland Railway.
The main line from Hereford entered the Three Cocks junction where you could either continue through to Brecon or branch off to Builth Wells. Christina's father purchased the land in the 1960's and ran a small piggery from the site. In 1990 Mark and Christina started selling home grown bedding plants from a small 8x6ft greenhouse next to the entrance.
Mark started to increase trade by attending local markets including Builth and Brecon. Customer numbers and demand for quality plants was constantly increasing so the decision was taken to open a small plant area and build a couple of poly tunnels from which the garden centre you see today started from.
