Upper Ffrydd and Lower Ffrydd Another interesting mix of English and Welsh. Where I live, in Ceredigion, that would be Ffrydd-uchaf and Ffrydd-isaf or maybe Ffridd-uchaf and Ffridd-isaf. Indeed, the OS is also somewhat confused as Ffridd-uchaf is marked as such but its neighbour is shown as Lower Ffrydd!

Gorsaf Caersws Edward Thomas' classic poem Adlestrop really came to mind when I waited alone on the platform on a sultry afternoon ('Unwontedly. It was late June.'). 

'No one left, and no one came / On the bare platform...And willows, willow-herb, and grass / And meadowsweet and haycocks dry, / No whit less still and lonely fair / Than the high cloudlets in the sky.'
