8 With the combinations of this slide and the one before last, I can write up a summary
• The commercial area is centres around the cross roads of the 2 main roads passing through the town. The buildings are tall and narrow and open onto the pavements. • Leaving the town to the east, most of the industrial area is located on the outskirts of the town to the south, along the valley of Rhyd-Hir Brook, which is not suitable for housing. • The residential areas are mostly on the outskirts to the north, but there is some to the south and some old working class housing around the CBD. Apart from the old terraces houses that open directly onto the street near the CBD ( lower working class), most of the housing is upper and lower middle class, detached or semis with front gardens. There are very few examples of upper class housing within the town, although there is quite a lot linked to the farms outside of the town limits.
