105) Telephone Exchange - Eagle Street

I mean, I presume that this building, next to the Royal Mail sorting office, is still a BT telephone exchange. In terms of architecture, well, it's 50s'/60s isn't it. And as such, far from inspiring. In some ways it is similar to the old Police Station, which has been knocked down since I made this sketch - 39) Old Police Station
To the right, you can just see the back wall and the roof of the Plaza Cinema on Talbot Road - as of November 2017 still nothing has been done with it.

79) Duffryn Rhondda Post Office

Duffryn Rhondda is a small community in the Afan Valley, between Pontrhydyfen and Cymmer.
