The following photos were taken by PBR member Arthur Llewellyn. There are a number of photos dating from around the mid 1970's through to the early 1980's. They provide a valuable insight into the workings of the railway side of the NCB operation in the Blaenavon area as well as the early days of the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway. As the photos are processed and resized for the purposes of being displayed on this page they will be added to the appropriate sections. So far the webmaster has concentrated on the photos taken during the early PBR Days.
The photos, apart from two or three, have been left as they were scanned, hence some colour distortion and the black surrounds.
