As you amble through the streets, you see the same things as you see in any Welsh town or city centre. The chain stores, the smattering of independent shops, the empty units, the pubs, and the market still clinging on in the fight to bounce back from impossible months in lockdown.

Like many working class areas up and down the land, this place, once thriving with industry, was left bereft for years, harking back hopelessly to a past when it had it all, a past when it had a future - the teeming workplace, the bustling high street, the heaving football terrace. Glory days long gone, only alive in photographs, anecdotes and the minds of those old enough to remember.
