Pontypool and New Inn
This location isn't as sylvan as it looks - there are two tracks of railway and four busy lanes of road under that concrete bridge. Now that the former Pontypool Road station building has been demolished see image 9934, and Crane Street station building removed, the only railway building left in the former 'Crewe of South Wales' is this station masters house, which was renovated in the late 1980s. Recent modifications have further changed the building's character, although the tile hung wall has obvious benefits when it rains.
