Aview looking South East over Aberdare town centre. We see the River Cynon and both the Taff Vale and Great Western Railways. The road network is unique and some of the street names have been added to aid identification.

Aberdare in South Wales.



The Stadium in the fork of the railway lines is Ynys Stadium, home of Aberdare Athletic who were Football League Div 3 South members from 1921 to 1927.
