The Heol-y-dwr Turning

The traffic lights have gone again, but they were outside for some time, where Broad Street, Newport Street and Heol-y-dwr meet. What they've done is to extend Heol-y-dwr slightly by means of two sort of traffic island bits, built out from the base of the wall under the Globe and Poplar House. This has narrowed the main road, but provides better visibility for cars turning out of Heol-y-dwr.

Funny, though - when the builders wanted to knock down the cottage opposite the turning originally, the reason they gave was that they wanted to widen the road at that point to make it safer.
Of course, they didn't need that excuse to knock the cottage down any more when they decided it had subsidence.
