Opened in 1841 by the Taff Vale Railway as the terminus of its line from Cardiff via Pontypridd, this station closed to passengers in 1877 when services were transferred to Merthyr High Street station, near the current Merthyr Tydfil railway station. It stayed open however as Plymouth Street Goods station until 1968. View northwest towards the buffers, which were under an overall roof at one time. It had become the inevitable supermarket and carpark when this image was taken.
