Cwmbran Info: History: Postcards: Glyndwr Road

Glyndwr Road, Cwmbran, Torfaen

Date:

Postmarked June 1979

Title: Aerial view of Cwmbran New Town (PLX28376)
Series: Colourmaster International MM 315
Publisher: Photo Precision Limited, St. Ives. Huntingdon
Comments: Bit of an odd shot this as it appears to concentrate mostly on the service yard at the back of the shops.  From the look of the buses this could have been taken anytime around the mid-1970s.

I suspect that this image was trying to make the most of the vast areas of "futuristic" concrete, but it does also give a good view of Northville and Pontnewydd.

Content: The red road is Glyndwr Road. On the right is Llantarnam Grange and the multi-storey car park.
On the left is the entrance to the bus station and service areas for the shops.  The tall building in the centre is Gwent House.
