| Bwlchyclawdd which I knew as "Andy Capp" in the 1960's because of the graffiti picture of Andy and Flo which had been painted on a hut at the summit. Andy Capp was a well known cartoon character in the Daily Mirror |

| Colliery waste tip typical of the South Wales valleys. The location has the feel of the valleys. I suggest that we may find that this is in South Wales. |

This is the Wyndham Colliery waste tip and is shown on the 1962 and 1965 OS maps of Nanymoel and Ogmore Vale. It was the placing of a colliery waste tip on a sloping mountainside which led to a slip after heavy rain and the terrible tragedy at Aberfan in 1966 when Pantglas School was engulfed. |

Eureka View looking south over Bwlchyclawdd towards Ogmore Vale in South Wales. Another photo which will have to be reclassified as Wales. The colliery waste tip was the clincher. I then noticed the road in the deep shadows in the foreground. There are few mountain roads in South Wales, most roads follow the valley floor. |

Thank you for confirming the location! It will take a little longer to make the necessary changes, starting with the negative on the shelf and working all the way through to the catalogue and online record. Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader |
