St Margaret's Church, Glanaman
This Anglican church was built in the mid 1930s and closed in 2008. I originally thought it was a chapel belonging to the Amman Valley Hospital because of its location and the fact that it had no graveyard, but I was wrong.

Old Hospital Buildings
Now that the Amman Valley Hospital is used as a rehabilitation unit and for day surgery, these buildings are surplus to requirements. Most of the windows are boarded up and the remainder smashed. The higher land of Drysgol can be seen beyond.

Amman Hotel, Glanamman (Recreated)
This is a recreation of the following 1956 photo from the Frith collection: http://www.francisfrith.com/search/wales/powys/glanaman/photos/glanaman_G249015.htm
It doesn't look so much like a hotel anymore and the road has been diverted so that this is now a pedestrian-only level crossing. The trains don't even run these days but this may soon change as a local railway society is planning to reopen the line.

Not a level crossing
It appears that there was a level crossing here in the past but now vehicles must take a longer route. Pedestrians can however cross the railway line, which no longer has passenger trains, but are exhorted to "Stop, Look, Listen." The building on the left was a signal box and the garden walls in the foreground are topped with local limestone rock fragments.
