Cowbridge Branch Railway
I believed this was the bridge that the railway used leaving Pontyclun heading for Llanharry.
14/01/2013 Have received information that this bridge was a replacement for an old stone road bridge. The railway bridge was apparently on the right hand side of this bridge.

Pontyclun railway station, Rhondda Cynon Taff
Opened in 1850 as 'Llantrissant for Cowbridge' by the South Wales Railway on the line from Cardiff to Swansea, this station closed in 1964. It was rebuilt and reopened as Pontyclun in September 1992.
View north west towards Llanharan and Swansea. The view is almost unrecognisable from the same position 52 years earlier - see
Image] although the same white building and power pylon can (just) be seen in both.
