Boats moored at Govilon
The names often amuse me. One here is named 'Red Dwarf' for obvious reasons.

Former Heads of the Valleys railway bridge, Govilon
The Merthyr, Tredegar and Abergavenny Railway obtained Royal assent on 1st August 1859. After financial difficulties could not be overcome, the London and North Western Railway initially took a 1,000 year lease and then purchased the line outright. The Heads of the Valleys line was heavily engineered and passed through hostile upland terrain on its way to Merthyr. The line was built to a high standard as this skew bridge that took the line over the canal at Govilon demonstrates. The railway closed to passengers on 4th January 1958, long before Dr Beeching, and one of the most spectacular railway journeys in Britain was denied to future generations. Much of the trackbed was taken over by the A465, The Heads of the Valleys road.
