Lavori di costruzione su un nuovo ponte sul Ffrwd Wyllt su Central Road, Port Talbot, West Glamorgan, Wales, UK alla fine degli anni '1950s. Questa sarebbe diventata una delle principali strade di accesso alle acciaierie (viste sullo sfondo) che si era notevolmente ampliata negli anni del dopoguerra (vedi immagine Alamy 2HN1RDT per una vista del ponte e della strada finiti). Alla fine il percorso principale per le opere fu via Cefn Gwrgan Road. Tuttavia, entrambe queste strade di accesso sono state tagliate dalla costruzione della tangenziale di Harbour Way nel 2013 – una fotografia vintage del 1950s.

Construction work on a new bridge over the Ffrwd Wyllt on Central Road, Port Talbot, West Glamorgan, Wales, UK in the late 1950s. This was to become one of the main access roads to the steelworks (seen in the background) which had greatly expanded in the post-war years (see Alamy image 2HN1RDT for a view of the finished bridge and road). 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 photograph.
