Several
points of interest here. Abermorlais School on top of the tip that was the
waste from the Penydarren
Iron
Works.It was called the British Tip by everybody because the school was
originally called the British
School.The
land in the foreground is now the site of the College.The tall white
building left of the tip
is
the original Taff Vale Brewery which moved up to Danyparc in 1904.Behind
the brewery on the east
side
of the river is the area known as China, notorious for its villains
and undesirables.
