Damaged phonebox, Pengam
Located alongside the A469 Cardiff Road, near The Lady of the Stream. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3441706 Despite the absence of a door, the telephone equipment appears intact. I did not venture inside to test if it was in working order.

The Lady of the Stream, Pengam
Installed in May 2010 on the site of a former ash tip, the 40ft (12m) high statue is named the Lady of the Stream. It depicts a woman watching over local children, a reference to Pengam folklore of youngsters drowning in a stream. The statue was designed with the help of nearby Lewis School Pengam.

Roadside art in Pengam
The 40ft statue here is called the Lady of the Stream and depicts a mother looking after her children (it has a face on the obverse side). It has, I believe, caused some outrage since its installation in 2010, not because it might be perceived as a questionable use of space or money, or is unsafe, but because some locals expressed a concern that its apparent resemblance to a particular body part might cause offence.
