Pelican crossing, Ebbw Vale
Chambers Dictionary states that the term pelican crossing is adapted from "pedestrian light controlled crossing".
There has been much regeneration hereabouts, in the large site formerly occupied by Ebbw Vale steelworks.
This new (or perhaps newly resurfaced) road isn't named on maps I've consulted. Its course is parallel with Steel Works Road to the east.

The Railway yard at Ebbw Vale works
The Passenger railway has re-opened to Ebbw Vale just recently. This picture shows the freight yard at Ebbw Vale with the tinplate works belonging to then British Steel situated behind the yard. This was the reason for the railway surviving to transport steel products up the valley and back for processing at the works. Now the passenger trains are back but the freight has gone. Plenty of wagons on hand when this picture was taken. This was in fact a relative new yard as the old sidings were cleared for the garden festival held at Ebbw Vale. Do you remember that?
