The section of tramway from The Woodlands (Thornhill Road) to The Half Way in Old Cwmbran. This tramway came from the Mineslope Adit (c. 1856) and the Porthmawr Adit (1837, the first adit of Cwmbran Colliery), and merged with the tramway out of the Main Adit a little down the hill from this photograph. After the level, horse drawn stretch from Siloam Chapel, Upper Cwmbran to The Woodlands along what is still named Tram Road, drams were conveyed from here by gravity again. Once a useful footpath, further down it is almost impenetrable and higher up, it is something of a fly tipping area. Close to where this picture was taken used to be Woodlands Cottages until at least the 1970s. These were workers' cottages, since demolished to make way for a social housing estate.
Located in the shopping strip south of the (current) railway crossing, this was completed in 1968, along with road widening was undertaken through the shopping strip. Springvale Road in Springvale was initially a two lane single carriageway until the road widening project saw demolition of the shops on the eastern side and a dual carriageway constructed. New shops were then built alongside the widened road.

Good strong beef broth and a clear chicken broth. Raymond had the Bun Bo Hue, which had a nice beefy soup too.

Good use of Vietnamese mint and loads of fish sauce, but lacking in the lemongrass and chilli oil that I prefer.
A good alternative to Bun No Hue at Dakao Hoang.

The remains of the wall are all that is left showing of the 1879 Main Adit of Cwmbran Colliery. In the 1980s, the council bulldozed it over. It seems to disappear a little bit more each year.For a picture of the adit in 1972:

Cwmbran Colliery opened in 1837 at the Porthmawr Adit in Upper Cwmbran, also known as the Clay Level because of the excellent grade fireclay discovered there, causing an adjacent brickworks to be opened in 1839 to exploit it. In 1854 another adit, the Mineslope Adit was opened a little further up the mountain and in 1879 the Main Adit was opened in Springvale near the Cwmbran Iron Works (later GKN). The colliery closed in 1927 with the sealing of the Main Adit. The previous shift's entire output of coal was sealed in after the miners left the adit for the last time. A tramway system ran from the Mineslope Adit to Old Cwmbran where it linked up with the Cwmbran-Caerleon tramway which finished at the wharf on the River Usk.

I love watching other people dance, especially Mauritians. I wish they'd had the lights on all the time - this was my brief opportunity to take shots that weren't all flashed out. The woman in the background, all in black (clearly a Mauritian woman who has been too long in Melbourne) was a great dancer.

This heap is all that remains of the Boiler House for Cwmbran Colliery, below the Main Adit. When I was a child, the building was long gone, but the foundations, below Broad Walk, remained. Now they have been bulldozed up and become overgrown.

A day in a Junkyard
Salahuddin Ahmad, Melbourne Polytechnic, Victoria, Australia.
Either it is an accident or beyond its age, our carefully handled favourite car gets old, damaged, rusty, abandoned or impounded and becomes unwanted. It then finds a temporary shelter in a junkyard. A junkyard is also known as a car wrecker, a place where damaged or old vehicles are broken up and recycled to obtain useable parts and scrap metal.
Junkyards make a significant contribution to the economy. It is estimated that the vehicle attrition rate in Australia is 4.1% which is approximately 700,000 vehicles a year and produces 980,000 tonnes of waste each year. Thus, it requires a significant amount of workforce involvement to safely dispose of these vehicles as well as sustain the growth of this industry.
Imlachs Self Serve Auto Parts, a junkyard in Springvale, Victoria is a busy place full of activity throughout the day. People come here to sell their unwanted cars as scrap metal or collect recyclable parts from the damaged vehicles. There are 3 multi-dismantling machines, 2 forklifts, 6 trucks and 4 automotive lifts in operation with 36 shift workers to operate and run the business.
The Junkyard offers an environmentally friendly place to dispose of unused and unwanted vehicles. These unwanted cars contain toxic battery acids, toxic chemicals, engine oils and other fluids which can cause long term damage to soils, water and air quality. To minimise the environmental impacts, the most environmentally friendly way is to dispose of them in a junkyard with authorized operators.
Location: Imlachs Self Serve Auto Parts, Springvale, Victoria, Australia.
A scooped out hollow just north of the old incline. This was a reservoir in a stream, constructed for the engine house of Cwmbran Colliery about 150 yards further downstream. (See also, adjacent photograph).
