On the wall of a store built on the site of Merthyr Tydfil High Street railway station and yard. The station was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel in the style of Paddington station which he had designed earlier. At one time, six lines ran through the station. By the 1960s only the Cardiff line remained. As a result the station was too large. It closed in 1962. The present-day station nearby is a one-platform terminus. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6394503
