Swansea, well, close to
Heres one from a while ago.

Llanelli in South Wales used to have purpose in the world, producing tin plate and at one point crockery. A Port town, it had access to the sea, now it has access to the DSS and its main production includes that of drugs.

This run down sea side town is trying hard to improve, but whilst it keeps trying, Ill keep snapping away.

This old building was part of the Tin plate works ;- I Think.... It was later used for the production of Video cassettes, again I think, and now has had half of it demolished, and the other half bricked up with a view of turning this heap into a museum.... to what, I have no idea.
