IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Kenfig Road, CARDIFF, CF14 1HX

A ramp and stairs lead down from the west side of North Road to an underpass below this artery from the city centre. A few metres to the north of this point,(behind the camera) North Road splits into Caerphilly Road and Merthyr Road. On the left, a Cardiff Bus single-decker is on route 24 from the central bus station to Llandaff North via Whitchurch.

Located on Llwynderw Road, close to the Three Horse Shoes pub. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1896037 The garage offers a wide range of services, including vehicle servicing, general repairs and specialist operations.

Located on the corner of Caerphilly Road and Merthyr Road, at the north end of the Gabalfa flyover. A Wetherspoon pub, the Aneurin Bevan opened on November 20 2009. Some locals questioned the choice of name. Aneurin (Nye) Bevan http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/836619 was a famous Welsh politician who had a major role in the establishment of the NHS (National Health Service). But he was born in Tredegar, Monmouthshire, and didn't have much of a connection with Cardiff.

At the date of this photo, October 2009, this large building on the corner of Caerphilly Road and Merthyr Road was the Eastern Manor restaurant. Less than two months later, it opened for business as the Aneurin Bevan pub. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1715892

Looking along North Road towards the northern end of the Gabalfa Flyover, part of the Gabalfa Interchange. The building of the Gabalfa Interchange in the late 1960s caused many changes in the area. Excavations were needed to form the new road linking Western Avenue and Eastern Avenue. Two bridges were built, as part of a roundabout controlling the traffic flow along five roads. A flyover provided a route carrying vehicles directly towards the city centre. More than 100 houses and other buildings were demolished, among them the local library and the Regal dance hall. The most notable loss was St Mark the Evangelist church and vicarage. A final service was held in April 1968, whereupon worshippers moved to the new church http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1462652 nearby in North Road.

To the right of the Aneurin Bevan, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1715892 Caerphilly Road, heading south towards the camera, becomes North Road. Merthyr Road merges with North Road on the far side of the Aneurin Bevan.
