51) Beach Hill Footbridge, Aberavon


A well known Port Talbot landmark when I first moved here was known as Beach Hill. Basically It was a hump backed road bridge which carried Victoria Road in Aberavon over the two lane highway of the Afan Way. A body of public opinion was very disgruntled when the decision was taken to replace the bridge with a road junction, which has admittedly made it far easier to join the Afan Way, and this rather elegant footbridge.
