101) Water Street Business Centre

What? Isn't the blog entitled 100 Faces of Port Talbot - not 101?! Well it is, and I'm not going to change the title. Still, the thing is this. I've enjoyed making these sketches so much that I just don't want to stop. So whenever I do another sketch of Port Talbot, then I'll add it to the blog. Hey, it's my blog - and I make the rules. 

So this is the Water Street Business Centre. For my first two decades in Port Talbot this building was actually the local Health Centre where I and my family would see our GP. That moved some time ago to a purpose built building in Sandfields which actually houses several different practices. For a while after the Health Centre moved this held a local radio studio. Now, though, it's a business centre, although how many businesses are based there I couldn't rightly say.

I wouldn't go so far as saying that I think this is a particularly handsome building, but I do like it as an example of the way that not every building built between the 50s and the end of the 70s is absolutely pug ugly. Damning with faint praise? Well, sorry, but I'm not going to lie.
