The I remembered there was an aggregates stockpile... Reminds me of a polaroid snap of my late father in the 1970s, standing beside his company car in front of a similar pile. The difference is that was a 15' pile of snow that been ploughed there to clear the office car park, as he was working north of the Artic circle! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanfit Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Railtour somewhere in South Wales in 1987, I am sure someone will know where it is. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingEdwardII Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 1 hour ago, Vanfit said: I am sure someone will know where it is. My thoughts are that the 1st & 3rd pictures are of Nantgarw Colliery/Coking Works, which closed in early 1987. This is just to the east of the Taff River north of Taffs Well - the main Cardiff - Pontypridd line runs on the opposite bank of the river, to the west. Photos 1 & 3 are looking south. In earlier days the works had a series of tall chimneys which would have been in the centre of photo 3. Photo 2 is so generic that it could be anywhere in the valleys, although there is an area south of Nantgarw that looks something like this. Here is a 1984 picture from Peter Brabham on Flickr taken from the mountain to the south giving a grand view over the works and the nearby Treforest Trading Estate - the line to the works can be seen on the bottom right. The ex-TVR line to Pontypridd is on the left - it's a 4-track formation which gives you an idea of just how busy it was in its heyday. In those days, my father worked as an engineer responsible for the services (mainly water & steam) to the many factories on the trading estate. The coking works is long gone now. Yours, Mike. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
