Old and New Roads at Morfydd

According to the 1891 O.S. map, and also indicated on the modern 25,000 scale map, the road used to go straight on here. This seems to be supported by the gate hidden in the hedge and the apparent kink in the hedge line. The modern road curves around a small quarry, hidden behind the trees and prominent hedge, which may have been the reason for the changes.
