Tin Chapel at Halton

This redundant "Tin Chapel" (which is a listed building) has been converted to a wonderful home. The basic structure has been enhanced by sympathetic window openings and although out of style the roof lights for the added first floor do not look out of place. I think this is because some "Tin Chapels" do have roof vents.

Pont Llygoden - number 1 bridge on Afon Ceiriog

Pont Llygoden ("Mouse Bridge") - the first bridge over Afon Ceiriog at Ddol. It is about 400m from the confluence of Afon Dyfrdwy (the River Dee) and Afon Ceiriog and right on the Welsh border. The far side of the bridge is in England, North Shropshire District.

Pont-y-blew bridge over Afon Ceiriog

Wonderful traditional built sandstone bridge which has reinforced concrete slab laid on top of the arch. The traditional and probably original stone side walls fitted to the top. The stone dressing marks can still be seen on these slabs of stone, which are approx. 150mm thick.

Brynkinalt Hall, Chirk

Looking north showing the frontage of the house. The house is about 1km east of Chirk and overlooks the Ceiriog Valley which at this point forms the English/Welsh border. The house stands a few hundred yards into Wales.

Tin Tabernacle

One of the many corrugated iron chapels which are fast disappearing, but not in this case, having been sympathetically converted to private residence.

Black Park village sign

This is one of several "colliery" community signs that have been commissioned to commemorate the North East Wales coalfield. Erected beside the entrance to a 24 hour McDonald's, perhaps showing how the area has moved from primary industries to the service sector.

Storm drain pond

This pond will accept water from the storm drains of the roads, roundabouts and car parks nearby. The water will then be slowly released so as to avoid erosion of local ditches.
