near to Tonna, Neath Port Talbot/Castell-Nedd Port Talbot, Great Britain

The remains of 'Parson's Folly Tramroad'

Part of the route of the 'Glyncorrwg Mineral Railway' later to be known as 'Parson's Folly Tramroad'. Constructed between 1839 and 1843 to link the collieries near Glyncorrwg in the Afan Valley with the Neath Canal at Aberdulais. The line was so costly to construct that it eventually bankrupted the owner Robert Parsons.
