Port Talbot
Sep. 23rd, 2024 03:23 pmOn the second day of our holiday we caught the train to Port Talbot Parkway where our son met us and drove us to his house. We admired the new loft conversion they've had done and had a good catch up chat over teas and coffees. Then we went for lunch at a new restaurant on the sea front and called, appropriately, The Front. Tasty food and large portions meant that we needed a walk along the sea front afterwards.
For once, I only took one photo. As you can see, the weather wasn't as nice as the previous day. Even so, there were people on the beach. The distant cranes belong to the steel works, part of which is closing and making a lot of people redundant. We'll no longer be able to make steel from iron ore once this steel works closed, though there will still be steel produced from scrap metal.
After our walk, our son dropped us back at the station and we travelled back to Cardiff. We didn't need another big meal so we just got some soup, cheese and crackers from the M&S food shop by Central Station.
