Trevithick Industrial Estate, Merthyr Tydfil
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 4 Jul 2004
On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Trevithick's Pen-y-Darren locomotive. The photograph includes the replica of trevithick's 1803 London steam carriage. Not sure I would fancy sitting so high up and with one of Trevithick's high pressure boilers below (James Watt was particularly against the evils of strong steam).
