La construction de Central Road (de gauche à droite en premier plan), Port Talbot, West Glamourgan, pays de Galles, Royaume-Uni à la fin de 1950s – ici, la nouvelle route avait exigé la démolition de maisons en terrasses. Un nouveau mur d'extrémité en béton (ou une extrémité en pignon avec contreplaque) a été ajouté au 16, rue Penrhyn. Central Road était l'une des principales voies d'accès aux aciéries. Finalement, la route principale vers les travaux a été via Cefn Gwrgan Road. Cependant, ces deux routes d'accès ont été coupées par la construction de la voie de contournement de Harbour Way en 2013 – une photographie vintage 1950s/60s.

The building of Central Road (running left to right in the foreground), Port Talbot, West Glamorgan, Wales, UK in the late 1950s – here the new road had required the demolition of terraced houses. A new concrete end wall (or gable end with buttressing) was added to 16 Penrhyn Street. Central Road was one of the main access routes to the steelworks. Eventually the main route to the works was via Cefn Gwrgan Road. However, both these access roads were cut by the building of Harbour Way bypass in 2013. Port Talbot steelworks, an integrated steel production plant is made up of a number of plants across a large site, developed since 1901. The original works were built by Gilbertson (1901–5) situated south of Port Talbot railway station. This part of the site was demolished in the early 1960s. The original Margam Iron and Steel Works was built 1923–1926. Several manufacturers pooled their resources to form the Steel Company of Wales and constructed the integrated Abbey Works plant that opened in the early 1950s. At the time of peak employment in the 1960s, this was Europe's largest steelworks with a workforce of 18, 000. The Steel Company of Wales was nationalised in 1967 and absorbed into British Steel Corporation, which was later privatised and merged to form Corus Group. Tata Group purchased Corus in 2007. In 2010 Corus was renamed Tata Steel Europe, then Tata Steel Strip Products UK Port Talbot Works. The plants produce millions of tonnes of hot and cold rolled annealed steel coils. This image is from an old black and white negative taken by a photographer interested in industrial South Wales. It will look slightly soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1950s/60s photograph.
