Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Pen-y-Cae farm, disused This farm house looked fine as we approached - it was only as we got near that the signs of dereliction were visible - the blocked off windows and doors. As we got closer, more obvious evidence of abandonment could be seen - TV aerial hanging limp off its mast and the guttering slowly disintegrating from the roof.
What was really poignant about this location for me were the left over children's toys in the garden - basket ball hoop, a football goal, but the saddest looking left over was a child's swing, slowly swinging, gradually being taken over by undergrowth. One can only imagine that this was once a happy family home and not the shell that now remains. I hope the children, now grown up, still have happy memories of this home with a gorgeous view. The house was left stranded by a nearby open cast mine which severed all road connections to the farm. I can only suspect that it was compulsory purchased by the coal board as had so many properties in this area of South Wales when the open cast started mining. In the picture you can clearly see the electricity and phone lines running off to the right. They survive for about 200 metres before being cruelly severed by the open cast mine. |
