More about this scene

The stretch of buildings on the other side of the station were once the original Company Shop (of the Rhymney Iron Company), which was set up and strictly run by Andrew Buchan - there was another similar shop towards the upper end of Rhymney. The buildings still exist, but are now used for a different purpose. This picture gives a fine view up Surgery Hill and across the middle of Rhymney.
