Viewed across Station Road on Saturday August 9th 2014 when fencing surrounds building rubble that used to be the Mason Arms pub, seen here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1594674 in October 2009. The building had been standing until five days earlier, when a fire broke out. When fire crews arrived, there were flames on both floors. The fire had also broken through the roof and damaged the adjoining building, a former betting shop. Station Road was closed for several hours, with diversions in place. The South Wales Argus reported that South Wales Fire and Rescue Service had said that there were no people injured, but were not yet able to say how the fire started.
