The near completed stretch of the Thornhill road at the top of the Caerphilly Mountain showcases a remarkable transformation that took place on 21st May 1968. This photo print, captured by Mirrorpix, transports us back to a significant moment in history when this iconic road in Wales underwent extensive improvements. The image reveals an impressive feat of engineering as workers widened the road and straightened out some of its treacherous bends.
