SO1707 : Pelican crossing, Ebbw Vale

taken 11 years ago, near to Victoria, Blaenau Gwent, Wales

Pelican crossing, Ebbw Vale
Pelican crossing, Ebbw Vale
Chambers Dictionary states that the term pelican crossing is adapted from "pedestrian light controlled crossing".

There has been much regeneration hereabouts, in the large site formerly occupied by Ebbw Vale steelworks.
This new (or perhaps newly resurfaced) road isn't named on maps I've consulted. Its course is parallel with Steel Works Road to the east.
