Corner of Newport Road and Heol Ddu Road, Gelligroes, Pontllanfraith
A 30mph speed limit applies along Heol Ddu Road. Heol Ddu is Welsh for Black Road, so the English word Road appears to be a tautology here.

Concrete channel under A472, Gelligroes
In Gelligroes, near the southern edge of Pontllanfraith, a concrete channel passes under the bridge carrying the A472. A correspondent has told me that this channel is part of the system that fed water to power the waterwheel at the old mill http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2247440. The start of the system is about 300 metres north of the path that connects Sir Ivor Road with Springfield.
Visible in the middle distance is a white building in Blackwood Business Park. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2247409
