Taken in what was the Industrial heartland of Wales. Dowlais Top In Merthyr Tydfil. A now dying sight of a fully loaded coal train departing Cwmbargoed. The loco will run around it’s train before heading down the steep South Wales Valley. Taken today at 10am using my Mavic Air. Dowlais is notable within Wales and Britain for it historic association with ironworking, once employing roughly 5000 people, in works the largest in the world at one stage.
