This is a lovely historic photograph showing the backs of the houses in Herbert Avenue in Pontymister. The Avenue was built roughly between 1922 and 1932. Herbert Avenue is now to be found under postcodes NP11 6JS AND NP11 6JT. It was originally just that - an Avenue - but around 1960's the road was opened up at the top end to link Herbert Avenue to the newly built Channel View.
