SN7312 : Lonesome Lamp Post and Tree
near to Cwmllynfell, Neath Port Talbot/Castell-Nedd Port Talbot, Great Britain
Lonesome Lamp Post and Tree
The strange thing in this picture is the lamp post - now out in the middle of nowhere! Although maps show a road for it to illuminate, it takes imagination to visualise the road today.
The road was abandoned many years ago when an open cast mine opened nearby. For many years its sole purpose was to be the access road for a nearby farm - now engulfed by the mine.
The gravel track road was slowly taken over by nature, and the single lamp post was left to decay.
