Maes y Llan
a crescent of semi-detached houses in post-war "council house" style. These are large, comfortable, houses. The former grassed area in front of them has been partially paved as a car park, because (of course) no provision for private cars would have been thought necessary when they were built.

Bus shelter
The bus shelter at Image stands with its back to the road, presumably because the prevailing, (and often rainy) winds come from that direction. The road is the B4508 through Llansilin
The former chapel of Image can be glimpsed through the shelter.
