I have tried to get some information on this place but theres a lot of confusion over it. It seems lightly it was someting to do with the gas board at one time.
I didn't go in, just too many people around when i was there, the area around it used as car parking for local shop.

it looks like a comprehensive school to me?!but not sure.can you not ask somebody who lives near there if they know?
 
Its not a school, but it does look scarily simmilar to my comp. Most likely built around 50/60's ( I live in port talbot)

I cant think for the life of me where that place is though...

Is it part of the old gasworks near the vivian park hotel ?

I did ask around, thats where the confusion came in, everybody I asked gave a different answer, although two argreed it was the gas board office (not totally convinced myself)
It is fairly open, but I was getting enough funny looks just taking the pics so decided not to push my luck.
It's off either afan way or water st (not sure) but it's right oposite the Vivian pub through a big set of gates, looks like it's been empty for years.

if my dads right, they used to make processed gas or something there, and that the gas supply was switched over to gas from somewhere else when he was in school , that would put closure around the 70's , but im not to sure.
 
It looks like a typical 1960's brick and curtain walling office building as seen in a lot industrial estates from the time (horrible buildings).
