Blackwood

Does anyone remember the railway station in blackwood? and if so is there a photo.

The Shop that is called The Bargoed Emporium I remember when I first moved to Blackwood it is now Argus but my goodness how much Blackwood has changed. Thank heavens for the good old days

Actually, I don't think the building you can see is the Little Theatre; that's on Woodbine Road. I think the building in this photo is the Methodist Church on Cefn Road.

The Building at the top of the road is the "little theatre" its still in its origional form and is still putting on shows.

Thanks.

That is a shame. The toilets near the old Flour Mill are now up for sale, I think Ystrad Mynach is the nearest place where there is a public toilet, but it costd 30p for the privilage.

yes those are public toilets, they are now sealed off and I'm told by an old council worker that they are now prob. submerged under water.

Where the 2 men are standing near the railings, I think there used to be public toilets there. Not 100% though.

I can remeber the shop to the right being called Stevens. It got burnt down a good few years ago. It is Argos now.

I'm interested in finding out as much about Fleur de Lys as possible. I would love to hear from anyone who knows it really well.

Was only recently discussing this line with my parents. Where did the Fleur de Lys line run? Did it join the Rhymney Valley line or elsewhere?
