The Old Railway Cottage, Cwmavon
I was inclined to doubt the accuracy of the first reference I consulted, which named this roadside property as Old Railway Cottage. However, another source confirmed its name, and a 1940s map shows that Cwmavon (Mon) Halt railway station was a few metres away. The station closed in 1962.
The house on high ground is in Snail Creep Terrace.
