Dolwen railway station (site), Powys Opened in 1859 on the Cambrian Railway's line from Newtown to Brecon, this station closed in 1962.
View north west at what is now a private residence. The platform was on this side of the former station building and the railway crossed the road just to the right of it.

Disused quarry near Caerau This small disused quarry stands beside the lane to Caerau on the lower slopes of Coed y Gaer.  The stone is very shaley and friable and appears to have been quarried for farm tracks and general hardcore.
