I was shocked when I seen how u guys got on there. totally jealous. Just wanna say thanks for risking so much for our entertainment guys looking forward to ur next vid now
I live near Bridgend which is around 15 miles away from port Talbot and I used to work for a container firm and I spent loads of time in the steel works and it's an absolutely massive site that you can easily get lost in , I'm very surprised how easy it was for you guys to access those areas and the power is still on wasting thousands of pounds, thanks for the video.
UK gov destroyed all the Welsh industries Coal first now Steel. Clyde Bank in Scotland had the worst deal. Ship building for hundreds of yrs but Maggie the stupid woman that she was did not read the small print where it stated that because the EU had paid the redundancies they could never build ships again. All that infrastructure wasted. MP,s have devastated our country
@AbandonedPlacesHiddenSpaces Sham about ur facebook post as security are now more onit and added 360 ptz cams ontop of the big posts to catch people out
Resident of PT here. Never been that side of the beach as is normally out of bounds. On that side of the beach is the remains of a ship wreck and I believe a WW2 tank. That area was used during the war for repairs on ships and storage
My only concern is other less experienced people will try and get up these cranes and try and do something silly endangering theirs and others lives. It’s not a good place to be as it’s a very hazardous place, although I reckon security will be more switched on seeing this video.
I'm not sure it's abandoned. The blast furnaces are shut down but steel is being imported to be processed so the cranes would work with that. I think you just arrived at a shut down period.
3000 ton an hour for the 2 bigger unloaders conveyors used to take 6000 tone but after low maintenence only 4500 the jetty has had them cracks for years you guys don't realise how dangerous it was you climbing them
If you or I abandoned our property and left it in a state they'd have us arrested. How comes commercial companies get away with it ? These hullets should be preserved using some of the profits from the last owners
Them cranes and everything around it is in a right state and it shouldn't be still left live with power should of been isolated and have security as well as its a dangerous site i would not of gone up there
@@abandoneduk4640 I remember once watching an abandoned railway video and reading a comment from someone saying “the transport police will be interested in this video” 🤦🏻♂️

@@AbandonedPlacesHiddenSpaces should of come it was good
@ already hit the wall energy wise, BF wrote us off. A lot more to get into though now though. Good little team 🤙

Cardiff airport😂😂
Interesting look around there and some good views well done as that was some height you went up.
@@JamesHowe-ci5vt yeah felt sketchy at the top legs went jelly a few times but we did it
I used to work on those cranes years ago, the Beach there is utterly stunning
@@SteveJones-gz4vd yeah nice and quite
Great video lads
Massive structure that destined for the scrap heap.....at least they won't have far to transport it to the 'new' arc furnace.
That airport you seen is probably Carew Airport. Now an industrial estate
Nice👌🏻
Cardiff airport 😂 thats swansea cardiff to the 7:29 right
@@dpaudits I realised that once I’d said it
@abandoneduk4640 haha 😄
Interesting, you can see these cranes from Aberavon Beach.
Resident of PT here. Never been that side of the beach as is normally out of bounds.
On that side of the beach is the remains of a ship wreck and I believe a WW2 tank.
That area was used during the war for repairs on ships and storage
@@DannyRoberts-l8i I seen the ship wreck but didn’t see a tank
PT resident here, it's open to the public. I've walked there.
Went for a look here myself and also had an undisturbed few hours.
Now try Tata Trostre and on your way out Llanwern Tata! 😅
Llanwern has already been done not as good as talbot
I wanted to go on the excavators at the other end of the site but my route didn't work out for that.
Amazing, how the hell did you get onto there in the first place lol, could see my house from up the top lol, well done.
@@Vic-u9l had to dodge about but we got in and yeah some great views from at the top just hate heights

Cardiff Airport no. That was Swansea over there 😅

@@nolansdavid these are not used as they was last used to unload iron ore and coal
You would have to have a good head work there , my legs went like jelly with you 😂
I've just been watching a bfi film of the building of port talbot steel mill

@@AdrianLewis-x4r lots of steel that had corrosion it was dangerous but was worth it thankfully no injuries
Spent three days and nights in number 2 during the strike.
I remember that ! My Dad was a striking miner and some of his colleagues were there when you occupied those cranes .
Sad to see, iron ore and coal was unloaded there in the past.
If you or I abandoned our property and left it in a state they'd have us arrested.

So trespassing then
@@GarethCastle always one that moans about it
@@abandoneduk4640make you laugh don’t they.
@ I don’t see the point in his comment it’s obvious I’m trespassing but we’re just documenting history

@ yes I remember that they wasn’t interested
Had reason sorry
