Pontlottyn
Although Pontlottyn was in coal mining and iron furnace country, the locals in Victorian times couldn't get a pub built, due to restrictive covenants imposed by former landowners. The Rhymney Railway, however, owned the land under its viaduct; so they allowed a pub to be built - under the last two arches at the South end, on the right of this view. The pub lasted until the 1980's, but is now closed and demolished. [Ref query 26 September 2017]
