This lane was severed as a through route by the construction of the dual carriageway A465 in the late 1960's.

For the benefit of readers I would say that Hirwaen is not the usual spelling for this location. Hirwaun is the more common spelling. A local slang pronounciation which was often heard from the 1960.s onwards was "erwin"
