Not Newport Pill

Post by Newport_rod »

If you look here https://www.flickr.com/photos/blue-dies ... otostream/ you find a view of couple of GWR clerestory coaches and diesel railcar at what somebody thought might be Newport Pill in 1958. It's plainly not Pill but can anybody in the Circle help identify where it might be?

I thought Cherry Orchard Sidings were in the Rhymney line about where it is now crossed by the M4, CF14 0UE? It was the final resting place of many Dean built coaches.
