Salutation Junction

In contrast to Cardiff Road see image 39471, here in Ebenezer Terrace, with its brightly colured houses, the narrow bit on the right was the road; and the broad bit on the left was the railway. View looks North and slightly East, towards the River Usk in June 2012; the junction would be perhaps sixty feet behind the photographer. The junction was named after a pub; the standard local salutation being 'Awrightabutt', which might not do as the name of a junction.
