83) Port Talbot Hospital

I remember that there was talk of a new hospital being built on Baglan Moors when my oldest daughter was born in the old Neath Hospital in 1986. Finally, 17 years later, the hospital opened, in 2003. If I'm totally honest with you, the architecture did, and still does remind me of a motorway service station - come to think of it so does the inside - only on a rather larger scale. I don't mean to be horrible. As a building I find it totally inoffensive, and if the worst you can say about it is that it is a little generic, at least it's not a totally characterless box.

50) Neath Port Talbot Hospital Car Park Sunday Car Boot Sale


This sketch brings up the halfway mark.I remember talk about building the hospital here on Baglan Moors as early as 1986 when I first moved to the town. A mere 17 years later it was opened, in 2003. The hospital car park hosts a car boot sale every Sunday morning from the late Spring until the early Autumn. This is another busy sketch, but that’s par for the course considering the subject matter.
