Port Talbot Past and Present

[@leeandjancruise]

Thanks for up loading this Neil, as an Englishman from Greater Manchester now living in Cimla since 2003 I found this fascinating, I've explored the region and imagined the local changes over the last centaury but found little documented, thanks again for sharing.

I was born in 1962 so can just about remember the old town great to see photos of how it used to be .

[@geoffreywilliams9324]

My father worked there in the 60's and 70's. Best years of his life .. God rest his soul.

[@llewellynharris8316]

My hometown, great to see its history

[@rokker101]

The Cradock Arms was knocked down a good few years back played a good few gigs in there with my old band

[@cliveclerkenville2637]

Excellent work. Well done.

Interesting video and it must have taken a lot of effort to get the information/locations now, thanks for uploading. It is shame to see the old pubs and houses gone, a little updating for modern convenience was all that would have been needed and be sympathetic.

Work there as a subcontractor for the 1984 revamp of the main hot strip mill, and as a trainee engineer in 1975. Nice place, even better when Wales won the rugby.

We lived in Swansea, but Port Talbot was like our little brother but with the big toy . . Such a wonderful history . .

Port Talbot is my favourite town in South Wales, my least favourite is Neath, what a dump that has become

[@garethbowen7128]

Neath is a terrible place, even the Roman's buggered off !

always find it astonshing that 3 actors ,each of which could be argued where the best in the world at there time, came from port Tolbert and the surrounding areas . Rob Brydon is actually a very good actor to and better than some give him credit ,but up not to the other threes level ,yet .
