The Community Centre is shown intact in an earlier picture (Image), and being cleared away in Image and Image, leaving the site as shown here. It was originally intended that a new community centre be built in the same place, but by early 2019 the site was grassed over. There are three high flats at West Bridgend: Image The ones in the present picture are Clyde Court (left) and Lomond Court. Leven Court is out of shot to the right.

Well, possibly. Placed almost centrally in the upper half of the picture is an inscribed arrow (more easily felt than seen). Though it is not apparent in the image, touch also reveals a deeper indentation at the apex, which probably held a metal bolt or stud. No bench mark is recorded here by the OS, and the marking is (at least, in this lighting) scarcely noticeable. I just happened to think about bench marks as I passed this spot, and looked for (and found) this one. It is low down on the stonework just to the right of the gate that is shown in Image and in the earlier Image I cannot be certain that this one genuinely is an OS bench mark, but it seemed worth recording for future reference.

On West Bridgend.

The gate (shown in an earlier picture, Image) has long been closed, but the track behind it used to be a convenient shortcut to the parts of Helenslee Road above the Image Image is in the background.
