Corner of Golden Mile View and Bassaleg Road, Newport
Viewed across Bassaleg Road. There are about 120 flats in Golden Mile View, contained in several individually-named buildings, most of which are out of shot. The one on the left is Griffin House.
Golden Mile View is at the edge of a section of railway line that passed through Lord Tredegar's estate. He charged a levy of one penny per mile per ton of coal crossing his land. That may not sound like much, but for a while (1870s) Newport Docks was the largest exporter of coal in the world, and it all passed along the Golden Mile.

Bassaleg Road houses near the M4 motorway, Newport
On each side of the M4 motorway, several Bassaleg Road houses, as here, are alongside a section of roadway separate from the current course of Bassaleg Road.
Bassaleg Road was realigned slightly when the motorway was built beneath it in the 1960s. On this side of the road, one house, 160 Bassaleg Road, had to be demolished to make way for the M4.
