Treorchy - a photo on Flickriver

Treorchy

            The only things my records say about this photo are that it is "Treorchy, Rhondda" and it was taken on Monday 17th October 1977.  I think this was during a geography 'A' Level field trip whist I was studying at Bath Technical College.  Since I started scanning my old slides, I have found that every so often there is a photo which produces a minor thrill of excitement when it first appears on the computer screen, seen again for the first time in decades.  This is one of those photos: it is something about the ramshackle outbuildings in the foreground, the chimney pots of the nineteenth century housing, and the hills looming beyond.  If anyone looking at this can identify the viewpoint I would be delighted to learn where it is.  From the little research I have done, I think the 1960s-vintage modern buildings in the left distance belong to the Comprehensive School.  I never did get that particular 'A' Level: I was OK with the human geography but couldn't get on with physical geography.
