Opened in 1888 by the Aberdare Railway (later part of the Taff Vale Railway), on its line from Abercynon to Aberdare (Low Level), this station, which would have been in the foreground, closed in 1964. It was reopened in 1988 slightly to the south east of the original, seen in the distance. View south east towards Penrhiwceiber and Abercynon.
