Semaphore Graveyard

I have posted this image not for aesthetics, but to catalogue the demise of semaphore signalling in South Wales. The location is Cogan Junction, near Penarth, South Wales. I believe the semaphores are from Aberthaw, which were replaced by LED lights in January 2013. Ystrad Mynach and Bargoed signal boxes were decommissioned in September, and I am told that Barry signal box will go in January 2014.
