| I can't claim to make out the Traveller's Rest PH at the top of Caerphilly Mountain which is in the vicinity of this flag. The irony is that I used to visit the Travellers Rest at weekends around 1980/1 when I was quite keen on Amateur Radio.My brother and I would take a 2metre mobile rig with us which would enable us to speak to people quite a long way away in England and occasionally further. Harmless fun and good beer. I really should have identified this one sooner. |

Excalibur Drive, Thornhill would be near the centre of the photo today. |

The M4 Motorway cuts right across the centre of this photo these days. |

No one can ever know how long it has taken me to identify the location of this photo but thanks to our friends at the National Library of Scotland who have 6 inch maps of England, Wales and Scotland I have it. Needless to say don't look at Ebbw Vale for the location of this photo. The photo is looking north in the Thornhill and Llanishen areas near Cardiff. I shall now fill in the details. At last! |

I have probably spent hours trying to locate this photo. I know that it is not an image of the centre of Ebbw Vale which is in a steep sided valley with typical valley town terraced housing. I have looked in the area around the M4 near the Cardiff Gate Services but I can't get it to fit. One day it will all fit together. |

I suggest that this one is unlikely to be within five miles of Ebbw Vale. As to where it is I don't know. More work is needed. For the present it should be regarded as unlocated. |
