Northward in Ebbw Valley at site of Crumlin Viaduct, 1990. View NW to Swffryd, probably from the A472 road, over the site of the former Crumlin Viaduct, some residual piers of which can be seen. Demolished in 1967, the viaduct carried the ex-GW Pontypool Road (to the right) - Aberdare - Neath line, which was closed on 15/6/64, across the valley and the Newport - Ebbw Vale/Brynmawr line at Crumlin (Low Level)
Tir Sion Siencyn I have spelt this complex of buildings the Welsh way, after the hillside on which it stands. This on the north side of Cwm y Glyn (the A472 is unseen in the valley) taken from above the forestry on Mynydd Llwyd.
