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.
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.
dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new series on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend these days :)
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 .

I was born in 1962 so can just about remember the old town great to see photos of how it used to be .
My father worked there in the 60's and 70's. Best years of his life ..
God rest his soul.
My hometown, great to see its history

The Cradock Arms was knocked down a good few years back played a good few gigs in there with my old band
Excellent work. Well done.
We lived in Swansea, but Port Talbot was like our little brother but with the big toy . . Such a wonderful history . .
