Descriptive gazetteer entries

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Halfway like this:

HALFWAY, a place on the W border of Breconshire; on the road from Brecon to Llandovery, under MynyddBwlch-y-groes, 5 miles ESE of Llandovery. A small obelisk here commemorates an upset of the mail coach over a declivity of 130 feet, resulting in the destruction of the coach, without injury to the coachman or the passengers. The rocks in the vicinity are interesting to geologists.

This is the only descriptive gazetter entry we have found, but you may be able to find further references to Halfway by doing a full-text search here.
