Dist:0.3km<br/>The mural that is painted on the end of the church building and proclaims that "Jesus Christ is Lord" was once very prominent to all drivers travelling southwards along this road. However, it has now faded with time and is partially obscured by trees.
This was once the main road on the eastern side of the Rhymney Valley but has been superseded by White Rose Way http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2198787 .
