Grand Hotel: Station Road Port Talbot

The Grand is the last remnant of what I'm told was an embarrassment of riches in terms of hotels and hostelries. At the other end of station road a significant number were demolished to make way for the Afan Centre (Shopping Centre) and then later, the Civic Centre.
