Crown Road, Kenfig Hill
Viewed from near the Station Road junction, looking past the left turn into a short cul-de-sac, Masons Close. My route here from Commercial Street has been an exclusively royal one, along Prince Road, then Victoria Road and now Crown Road. There is no such option head, because the far end of Crown Road is at the edge of disused quarries.

Spices and Woodstock Inn, Kenfig Hill
Spices Indian cuisine restaurant & takeaway and Woodstock Inn are on the south side of Station Road. Don't be misled by the name of the road into thinking that there is a railway station nearby. Passenger services at Kenfig Hill ceased in 1958 and the station was demolished long ago. I could find no railway remnants in this area beyond street names. The nearest railway station is now at Pyle. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3251359

Western entrance to Bedford Park near Kenfig Hill
The fencing is intended to stop motorbikes accessing the park. A small sign on the right shows
NO MOTORBIKES ALLOWED and the same message in Welsh.

The park is named after ironmaster John Bedford (1727-1791) who arrived in this area from the English Midlands in the early 1770s. Bedford bought 80 acres of land hereabouts with the plan of establishing an ironworks, (with blast furnace and forge) and the collieries, brickworks and stone quarries needed to support it.
