Afan Valley 160521 3156
Views in the South Wales Valleys 18 September 2020. The gaunt remains of the viaduct that carried a link from the Great Western Railway from Bridgend to Abergwynfi to the South Wales Mineral Line from Briton Ferry to Glyncorrwg. After problems in the SWMR Gyfylchi Tunnel (three miles west of here) in 1947, this was the only rail access to the pits in the valley north of Glyncorrwg. There is only one record of a passenger carrying train crossing the viaduct, but it remained in use for coal traffic until 24 August 1970.
