Summary[edit]

Description
English: Cyfarthfa Retail Park. Cyfarthfa Retail Park was opened in May 2005 - newsworthy as a part of the regeneration of the Heads of the Valleys area [ see http://www.walesonline.co.uk/business-in-wales/business-news/tm_objectid=15502313&method=full&siteid=50082&headline=retail-park-is-opened-in-boost-for-merthyr-name_page.html ].

We are viewing the main shopping complex, stood at the entrance roundabout and looking north; the woods of Cyfarthfa Castle and Park are visible on the distant horizon, just left of centre.

This photo was taken in March 2007. The car parks are busy. Leading High Street names denote the new branded landscape of consumption.

This retail park development represents a large-scale transformation of previously derelict industrial land. The current Google Earth image for this area (accessed October 2008) does not include the new retail park.

This area is that of the Cyfarthfa Iron Works [1] landscape. The Cyfarthfa iron works furnaces and furnace bank lie out of sight nearby in the valley floor, to the north-west.
