The apartments on the right are built on the site of the former Royal Ordnance Factory. Towards the end of its existence, this factory made parts for missiles, and so was the occasional scene of anti-nuclear demonstrations. The hill in the distance is Graig Llanishen, on which are the ruins of Castell Morgraig. On the right of the picture can be seen part of the name of the side street, Ffordd Morgraig, presumably named after Castell Morgraig ImageThe road sign actually says Ffordd Mograig, but this is surely a typo.
