Four large concrete water tanks, Ferndale
The bowl-shaped concrete tanks are located on the south side of Ffaldau Terrace, at the northern edge of an area of moorland and quarries. There was nothing at the site to indicate their use. I am grateful to a correspondent who wrote
"These four concrete structures are water tanks. They act, or did, as a reserve water supply and now must be between 40 and 45 years old. There are one or two at the top end of the Rhondda Fawr I believe."
The top of each structure has a diameter of nearly 30 metres, giving each a circumference around the top of more than 90 metres. The tanks are in a fenced-off area. Access is from the top, hence the presence of metal ladders on the tanks, and railings around their tops.
