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.

Cwmavon Village Hall
Located alongside the A4043.
In the mid 19th century a Wesleyan chapel was built here. A Sunday School was added in the 1920s.
In 1972 the Sunday School was bought by the people of the village for use as a community centre.
Early in 2007, the community centre was demolished. It was replaced by this new village hall which opened in spring 2008.
