Commando Memorial stone in Penhelig Park Erected as a memorial to the members of 3 Troop 10 (1A) Commando, billeted locally during training in WWII. Nearby plaques, in Welsh and English, are placed on the wall overlooking the estuary, and read "This British Army Commando Troop initially consisted of eighty-six German-speaking refugees from Nazi oppression, who were given fictitious names and identities as British nationals for their own protection and effectiveness. Commanded by Major Hilton-Jones MC, their special duties were reconnaissance, interrogation and intelligence. Deployed singly or in small groups, they rendered distinguished service in the defeat of Hitler's Germany."

Sleepers by the railway A pile of disused sleepers, most still with chairs attached, lies at the entrance to what appears to be a maintenance area for the railway. The chairs are all of the two-bolt fixing type used by the Great Western Railway. For a closer look see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3384225">SN6597 : Chair and sleeper detail</a>.
