COLD DAY IN PARADISE - a photo on Flickriver

            Mountain Ash in early April 1975 with snow on the hills. 0-6-0ST no.1 Hudswell Clarke 1885/1955.

After getting off the bus from Cardiff usually the first sight of steam was from a bridge just to the right of this photo. Where the picture was taken was between the bridge and shed and access was very easy. So for me this sums up my arrival view at the Mountain Ash system. I say system because it was much more than just a colliery railway like Bold, Bersham and Lady Windsor to name just a few.
