Crumlin, Caerphilly
Crumlin ((ウェールズ語:Crymlyn)) is a town , community and an electoral ward in Caerphilly county borough in south Wales, situated in the Ebbw River valley (), five miles west of Pontypool, within the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire.
==Crumlin Viaduct==
(詳細はviaduct. Opened in June 1857 for the Taff Vale Extension to the Newport, Abergavenny and Hereford Railway and closed in 1964 under the Beeching Axe, at 200 feet high and 1650 feet in length in two spans (1066 feet and 584 feet) it remained the highest railway viaduct in Great Britain throughout its working life. Work by the designer and contractor Thomas W. Kennard commenced in autumn 1853.
Nearby were the railway stations, both at high (viaduct) and valley levels.
Plans for preservation were discussed, but the poor state of repair made this impossible, and the viaduct was dismantled in 1967. Even while demolition work was in progress, scenes for the film ''Arabesque'' which starred Sophia Loren and Gregory Peck were being shot on it. As of 2008 the abutments remain visible on the valley sides adjoining the delightful Kier Hardie Terrace.
