Dist:0.4km<br/>The drainage channel has recently been cleared out but the footpath beyond the stile is so overgrown by brambles as to be impenetrable.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A small un-gated railway crossing on a railway that runs up the Amman Valley. The railway was recently refurbished for 1 Million Pounds and has allegedly had the sum total of one train run up and down the line in the last year.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Somewhere here lie the remains of James Colton, a Scottish miner who settled in the area and became in late life (1925) the husband of the renowned anarchist Emma Goldman. It may have been a marriage of political convenience, to give her citizenship after she had been stripped of hers and expelled from America, but their surviving letters are very affectionate. He died in 1936 and his grave is not marked.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This is a recreation of the following 1956 photo from the Frith collection: http://www.francisfrith.com/search/wales/powys/glanaman/photos/glanaman_G249023.htm Many chimneys have gone but otherwise in 50 years, only the kerb or an occasional lamp post has changed. Even the garage on the right is the same. Although the speed camera around the next corner is a new feature.

Dist:0.9km<br/>This is a disused signal box along the mineral line that runs up the Amman Valley. Although technically still in use, the vegetation growing between the tracks on this railway line make it obvious that this railway hasn't seen trains for a number of years.
