Aberdare High Level
I visited Aberdare to photograph the curious layout in the old High Level goods yard, where tarmac had been laid up to rail level, and industrial units had their brick side walls built across the rails. It looked as though the determined goods yard rambler would have to knock on doors to ask the local entrepreneurs' permission to walk through their industrial units. But things have changed; the whole goods yard area is now a car park for the local college. The width of the piers for the river bridge North of the station, however, show that here was once a fan of tracks here. Notice the new roof on the station building (left). View looks south.
