Heol Las Homepage


This is all that remains of a road that used to link Peniel Green with Heol Las in the Llansamlet area. The road was intersected by a new road development [307502] and this photograph was taken from the same location as that one.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Llansamlet railway station has "staggered" platforms, one each side of Bethel Road (which crosses the line by an overbridge at this point). This view, looking west, is of the platform, beyond the bridge, called at by eastbound local trains from Swansea to Cardiff.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This roundabout was so new, that my GPSr took me along the old road that is now intersected by this road - and which is now a dead end!

Dist:0.7km<br/>Taken from above motorway bridge/junction. As is so often the case, one lane (westbound) is coned off - but for no apparent reason.

Dist:0.7km<br/>When the pit was operational, there was a major flooding issue. This building used to house a Cornish Beam Engine to pump water from the workings. More recently it appears to have become the hount for local youths.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The building in this picture is the remains of a Cornish beam engine house, which housed a pump for the pit. The engine house was one of the first of its type in South Wales.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The eastbound sliproad from the A48 to the M4 near Birchgrove is unusual in that it peels off the inside of the roundabout that straddles the motorway at this point. Traffic approaching from the B4291 (between the two leftmost lamp posts as seen here) and wishing to join the M4 eastbound has to perform a near 360° circuit of the roundabout.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This housing development at Old Farm Court, Trallwn, near Swansea, has an interesting entrance. There were no sentries posted in the two "guard houses" either side of the archway on the day I visited...
