Orientation Table
From Festipedia, hosted by the FR Heritage Group
At top of the hill in the centre of the spiral, a plinth was constructed of stone setts lifted from the approach road to Minffordd Exchange Sidings. On the top is an engraved slate slab indicating the height and direction of the principal peaks and other points of interest visible from the hill. The General Manager, Allan Garraway (?) then introduced the donors, Mr and Mrs Walker of London, and Mrs Walker unveiled the orientation Table. The ceremony over, the slab was removed for safe keeping, pending arrival of a vandal-proof protective cover.
This was to be a memorial to the hard work of the people who worked on the Deviation
