Dist:0.1km<br/>The road down to the right goes down to Great Western Cottages. This road runs roughly parallel to the old Sirhowy Railway (now disused) and the Sirhowy river. Many of the rows of cottages are named after either railway themes, or mining topics. Several villages have terraces of houses called 'Railway Cottages', even though the railway is no longer there.
