In 1995 Russ and a friend managed to pull 20 flagstone slabs out of the mud of the tidal river Taff up the banks of river with some rope, to use to make a patio in the back garden of their house opposite.  He believes that the slabs were paving dumped in the river by the council workers when the river was straightened in 1850.

The origins of Nant Wedal and Nant Fawr met at bottom of Wedal road. 'Wedal' road's name may be a derivative of 'Waed', which is Welsh for blood (Nant is brook). The name is thought to have originated from 1600 or 1700 when a bloody battle occurred on the 'Great Heath' and the brook went red with blood.
