Once again I am indebted to photographer Rob Masterman for allowing me to reproduce this cracking set of archive images of the Coryton branch line in Cardiff, with photos of Birchgrove Halt, Rhiwbina Halt and Coryton Halt.
The above image of Rhiwbina Halt in 1967 is full of period detail, with a GWR ‘Pagoda’ style waiting hut, gas lamps and a diverse range of fashion on show!
