Missing Link - a talk on the Aberdulais to Glynneath dual carriageway construction

Join us for this hugely relevant talk on local and recent (1990s) history.

  • Booking advisable

Many will remember when the old road was the main access route (before the A465 was built) and lived through the disruption. Lyn James (Secretary of Neath Railway Historical Society) will be presenting an interesting and engaging talk with photos and engineering knowledge providing some insight into this significant piece of construction.

This is a completely free event but we recommend you book a ticket (free of charge) to secure your spot.
