Derelict land adjacent to former Ely Paper Mill, Cardiff
This area of land is in a small triangle created by two sets of railway lines.
It is near the west side of Paper Mill Road. The use of the vanished building which once stood here was probably connected with the mill, which closed in 1999 and has since been demolished. Formerly, access to the mill was via a now blocked-off road http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1981977 under a railway bridge.

The now blocked-off road under the bridge was formerly part of the route along Paper Mill Road into the now-demolished Ely Paper Mill which closed in 1999. On the far side of the bridge is a large area of wasteland.

Ty-Pwll Coch pub, Victoria Park, Cardiff
Pub located on the corner of Cowbridge Road East and Windway Road. Probably more than a century old, but looking more recent because of its mock-Tudor appearance, dating from the 1930s.

The bridge in the distance carries the track heading for Waun-gron Park station across the South Wales main line, which is heading away from Cardiff Central towards Pontyclun station, about 15 kilometres distant.
