View westward down the valley of the Afon Leri towards Tal-y-Bont village. The tramway, which was built in 1897 to transport minerals from the lead-mines at Bwlch Glas to the Cambrian Railway at Llandre, lasted only TWO years, but nevertheless carried passengers from Llandre as far as Tal-y-Bont! The mountain up to the left is Braich Garw. (This must be one of the most obscure 'Sites of a Railway Station').
