More fun with Google Maps

Google Maps - Wales

So here's where I spent the first few years of my life. I suspect not much has changed...Risca Town

It's hard to make out, but I think I see the Ebbw River winding South of the town. For one year, we lived on its banks. Local legend had it that the Ebbw was the 5th most polluted river in all of Europe. Whether that's true or not, it DID change colour many times in the normal course of a day, anything from black, through the spectrum to scarlet.

Last time I was there, around 10 years ago, it was clean, and I saw anglers fishing for trout.
