===Former railway===
Building of the [[Leominster and Kington Railway]] linking {{rws|Leominster}} and {{rws|Kington}} was started in 1855 and completed in 1857. It passed through Pembridge parish, where [[Pembridge railway station]] served the village. The [[Great Western Railway]] leased the line from the 1860s and absorbed it in 1898. [[British Rail]]ways closed the line to passenger traffic in February 1955 and to freight in late September 1964.<ref>Great Western Branch Lines 1955-1965; C.J.
