The Great Wall .

After seeing the destination on the bus i blipped on Saturday, we decided to go and take a look at Blaengarw.We haven't been up there for many years as there isn't very much there. Just above the wall is a long street of houses and then it's the end of the valley, and goes nowhere . Blaengarw is the uppermost village in the river valley ( Cwm Garw ) of the River Garw , in the county borough of Bridgend. In the english language Blaengarw means the rugged ' front' or head of the valley. The population of Blaengarw according to the 2o01 census was 1, 895. At the top of the wall if you view it LARGE you can see inscriptions written in the steel . It tells a miners story. The stonework is a work of art indeed.
