Former Focus in Aberaman Industrial Estate
The 80 metre long disused store is alongside the A4059. Focus DIY was a privately-owned chain of DIY stores. Most had a garden centre. After several years of financial difficulties, the company entered administration in early May 2011. About 50 of its stores were sold to other DIY companies.
The remaining stores, including this one, closed down in the summer of 2011.

Signs facing Cwmbach railway station
On the left here. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3825755 The upper sign tells train drivers to check that the train's Automatic Warning System (AWS) is working. AWS is a safeguard against a driver failing to respond to a signal or misreading its aspect. If a driver fails to acknowledge an AWS warning within two seconds, brakes are automatically applied. Because this intervention occurs at the distant signal (the caution or amber aspect), AWS will stop the train before it reaches the stop (red) signal. The lower sign states that it is against the law to smoke on this station. The text is also in Welsh.
