GWR bench, Llandough

Image: © Jaggery Taken: 5 Aug 2010

A dark brown bench, with white letters GWR underneath the seat, is located at the edge of a grassy area between the B4267 and St Dochdwy's church. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2043686 How a bench from the GWR (Great Western Railway) came to be located here is not known by this contributor. There was once a small railway station (Llandough Platform) in the village, but that closed in 1918, and was on the Taff Vale Railway, which did not become part of the GWR until 1922. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1688666 to another ex-GWR bench in a railway setting.
