Outdated bus stop sign, Medart Place, Crosskeys
In May 2018, the bus stop sign near the corner of Blackvein Road shows three services operated by Glyn Williams. In 2006, the family firm sold their shares in Crosskeys Coach Hire, which traded as Glyn Williams Travel, to Red and White Services, a subsidiary of Stagecoach, who now operate the buses stopping here. The white arrow on the small blue label on the bus stop pole points left towards Blackvein Road for National Cycle Network Route 47, a mainly inland route from the city of Newport to Fishguard via Neath and Carmarthen.

Corner of Medart Place and Blackvein Road, Crosskeys
I haven't yet found out if the front part of the house on the corner has any connection with Black Vein Colliery (a former lodge, perhaps?) Blackvein Road on the left formerly led to Black Vein Colliery. It was worked fully between 1841 and 1888 until the North Risca Colliery (Crosskeys) was opened. It then operated intermittently until the 1920s. Black Vein was extremely gaseous in some sections, and became known as the "Death Pit" because of the number of explosions. Between 1846 and 1860 explosions killed 194 miners. The deadliest explosion was in December 1860 when 146 were killed.
