This is the Machine Bridge, a weighing machine was installed on this bridge to weigh the coal from the first pits in the Rhondda valley. The coal was transported along a dram road pulled by ponies weighed on the bridge and then shipped by barge along the Glamorganshire Canal to Cardiff docks, the dram road and canal closed with the coming of the TVR. The dram road is still in existence and is now a cycle path. |

Thanks everyone for all the useful pins that help to show what's in the picture. "White Tips" looks like the remains of a defunct industrial landscape - can anyone cast any light on it for me? I'm not familiar with the area, it would be interesting to learn a bit more. Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader |
