There were two stations with the name Ebbw Vale. This is the High Level Station formerly LNWR and at this time LMS. It was the terminus of the branch line from the station at Beaufort and was about 1.5 miles in length. The line was originally part of the Merthyr Tredegar and Abergavenny Railway which after completion in the 1870s was taken over by the LNWR. The station closed in the 1950's. The Low Level station was GWR and although the original station has now closed that line now carries passengers again and the Ebbw Vale terminus is near the site of the former "General Offices which now contain the Gwent archives. The Low Level Station which was GWR would have been just out of view at the bottom of this photograph. |
