This was taken on a day when I was supposed to be helping my girlfriend look for lapwings. As ever, I was more interested in the industrial archaeology of the area and was unreasonably thrilled to find the remains of this railway bridge, which would have carried a farm track over the Brynmawr to Blaenavon railway. Not far from here the railway has been reopened as the Pontypool and Blaenavon railway.
