Afan Lido

Continuing with  a selection of Port Talbot's lost buildings, this is the Afan Lido, on the sea front. The Afan Lido was Port Talbot's Leisure Centre. 

The Afan Lido was opened in 1965 by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. The Lido boasted one of the only Olympic sized swimming pools in Wales, and the venue hosted large-scale concerts with world famous bands. In 2009 the building was gutted by fire, and had to be demolished, with a new facility opening in 2015.
