Housing estate on the north west side of Brecon
One of those estates where all the houses look the same and it is easy to get lost, the house numbers make no sense and you can't find any street name signs, where little thought has been given to residents privacy, growing car usage or the needs of the young (no open space or park) or the old (too many steps, slopes and changes in ground levels). Architects of the 1960's, you should be brought to book.

Flow of water from Maen Du well

Inspired by the mountains?
Was the architect of these houses on Bron-y-Crug inspired by the backdrop of the Brecon Beacons? The roofline certainly echoes the natural skyline. Prominent among the Beacons in the background are Cribyn on the left, and Pen y Fan and Corn Du to the right.

Social housing, 1970's style. The 1980's housing of Cradoc Close can be seen to the right.
The juxtaposition of the two housing styles and the fabulous view to the Beacons is there for all to see.
From left to right, Cribyn 795m, Pen y Fan 886m and Corn Du 873m.
Pen y Fan is the highest peak in Southern Britain.
