Bat bridge, Penmaen
The bat bridge is a pole on either site of the road with a line of netting run between them.
It was installed here, across the main road through Penmaen, in 2004.
Bats don't fly in the open, but usually follow hedge and tree lines. Even something as apparently trivial as the removal of a hedge can disrupt their flight. Bats stay in vegetation to avoid predators, crossing roads at points where trees either side create a canopy, as here.
The need for the bat bridge arose following the demolition of a nearby old railway bridge, part of a bat route, during the building of Sirhowy Enterprise Way.

Former church or chapel in Woodfieldside, Blackwood
Viewed from St David's Avenue in February 2014. United Reformed Church (Wales) Trust notices nearby show KEEP OUT - POTENTIAL DANGER Maintenance work in progress, though that warning probably applies to the adjacent churchyard. I saw no other churches, former or in use, in St David's Avenue today, so it's likely that this used to be St David's church.
