Colourful farm buildings
A fresh coat of paint makes these remote farm buildings look very appealing in the early summer sunshine. Located above the Garnant valley near Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen.

Amman Valley ROC post
This is the site of Amman Valley Royal Observer Corps post nuclear bunker, opened in October 1959 and closed in September 1991. Now filled with gravel and surrounded by nettles, the bunker's ventilation pillar can just be seen to the right of the image along with the telegraph pole which accompanies so many of these bunkers. The bunker's hatch could also be observed through the undergrowth though a large concrete plug had been placed there.

Railway Bridge, through trees
This bridge formed part of the branch line that went from Gwaun Cae Gurwen to Abernant Collieries. Two bridges were built to serve each direction but amazingly only the down-valley junction bridge was ever used - no tracks were laid on this bridge and the land just beyond the viaduct has since been taken over as a private garden.

Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen viaducts
The 2 viaducts at Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen, used to transport coal from the Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen and Tairgwaith mines down to Ammanford and beyond. I believe the upper (nearest) was never used. The lower viaduct (furthest) will soon be used again when the opencast mine is to re-open at Tairgwaith.
