View from a DMU going up the Rhondda Valley near Ystrad
Typical colliery scene, with spoil-heaps right up the mountain. Note the four tracks, to accommodate all the coal traffic.

NE corner of Gelli Park, Gelli
Seen in the middle distance, a children's play area occupies this corner of Gelli Park. The so-called public conveniences in the building in the foreground were not available as the entrances were locked.

Gelli Park bowling green, Gelli
The bowling green and pavilion occupy the northern edge of the park.
There appears to have been little if any bowling in the Rhondda before the 20th century : the first recorded instance appears to be in the summer of 1904 on the grounds of the Upper Rhondda Tennis Club, Pentre. This bowling green in Gelli Park dates from 1912.

JCB, and a boundary sign facing the wrong way, Gelli
A view south along Tyisaf Road across a railway bridge. I was surprised to see on the right an Ystrad boundary sign facing me, as I thought I was leaving Ystrad and Gelli. A Google Earth Street View taken some time before this view shows the sign facing in the opposite direction, so it seems that someone has rotated the sign on the post.
