LV 72 was built in 1903 by John Crown & Sons of Sunderland for Trinity House. Her hull is made of iron and, during World War 2, she was involved in the D Day landings. She was sold out of service in 1973 to Steel Supply Co., Neath for scrapping. When sold she was the oldest vessel in the Trinity House fleet. She was later considered for conversion to a floating night club but the project did not go ahead. She is now on a mud berth on the River Neath in poor condition.

The ruins of the cistercian Neath Abbey, alongside a section of the Tennant Canal, in the Neath valley. On the right of the ruins is a ruined 17th century mansion built within the abbey ruins. The site was heavily industrialised in the 19th C, excavated in the 1920s, is now in the care of Cadw.
Skewen railway station from the west. Viewed from platform 1 looking towards Station Road bridge. This is an unstaffed station on the Swanline between Neath station and Llansamlet station.
Neath Abbey Swing Bridge The Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway Company opened its line in 1885, but could extend the line into Swansea until this swing bridge was completed in 1894. I am grateful to the owner of Derwent Construction and his plant operator Martin for their assistance in getting this image. This is one of over 1,450 movable bridges in the British Isles that I have identified for my historical website. www.movablebridges.org.uk

Is it a gym or a hotel? I stayed in room 219 and it was absolutely ridiculous! It was impossible to do any work due to loud bass banging noises from the gym! We are talking early morning to late night. I called the reception several times without ANY result! I will never stay at this hotel ...

Amazing hotel, very nice decor and the staff were super friendly. Breakfast and bar also a delight and the grounds very pretty, especially in the morning with the sun shining through the trees.
