Rhoscrowther Oil Terminal across Angle Bay

Taken in the early morning after a night of heavy rain. The brooding presence of Rhoscrowther Oil Terminal squats on the far side of tranquil Angle Bay (Cf: SM8602 : Angle Bay)

Image taken from Pennar side of the Pembroke River. The site is disused, it lost its 'land mark' chimneys a couple of years ago.

Popton Oil Refinery, Rhoscrowther, Pembrokeshire

The site, now owned by Chevron, takes its name from fort at Popton point out of shot to the left. In this shot the tower of Rhoscrowther church is diminutive in the valley to the right and below the industrial complex.

Footbridge over a stream

The road from Hundleton to Rhoscrowther passes this spot which in wetter conditions creates a ford.

Cow weather forecasters sitting on the fence

Possibly a question of timescale: the official forecast at the time was for two more dry sunny days but torrential rain on the third.

Not (as one might think) a small chapel...

... just an associated building of the substantial church behind. (My guess would be the church hall.) See SM9002 : Church at Rhoscrowther with matching building at the gate for a wider view.

Lay-by large enough to make it onto the map

This is one of a pair of laybys along the road near the Chevron oil refinery whose chimneys can be seen on the right hand side of the picture, much more substantial and straight than usual to allow for oil tankers. The oil refinery would have made a much more interesting picture: however, I was stopped by Chevron security officials who were not happy having their premises photographed "in the current climate" - a hauliers' demonstration would arrive there about an hour later.
