Martin Angove's Utterly Pointless tour of the Aber Valley

The new houses on Stanley Street

Some new 'cardboard' houses, JJ's garage and the bottom of the trip

The new houses on Stanley Street went up in double-quick time. It was quite fascinating. They are built of wood and cardboard with a non-structural skin of bricks.

The 'Western' side of Stanley Street in view here originally consisted of rare (in Senghenydd) three-storey (ie with open basement) terraces.

They were demolished in the early 1970s, and not before time! This photo is obviously of the backs of the houses.
