Cyfarthfa Retail Park was opened in May 2005 - newsworthy as a part of regeneration of the Heads of the Valleys area [ see http://www.walesonline.co.uk/business-in-wales/business-news/tm_objectid=15502313&method=full&siteid=50082&headline=retail-park-is-opened-in-boost-for-merthyr-name_page.html ]. This sign is facing the main A470 road. We are looking north east. Cyfarthfa Castle is just about visible in the distance on the left. Out of sight in the valley floor is the site of the Cyfarthfa Iron Works, of which the Cyfarthfa iron works furnace bank is the largest remaining landmark.
