History
editThe station was opened as Pengam on 14 June 1865 by the Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway. Its name was changed to Pengam and Fleur-de-Lis on 1 February 1909, changed to Fleur-de-Lis on 1 July 1924 and changed again to Pengam (Mon) on 29 March 1926[1] to avoid confusion with Fleur-de-Lis Platform, which opened on the same day. The station closed on 31 December 1962,[2][3] although it remained open to goods for a few more years.[4]
