Port Talbot - Swansea Railway Bridge
A465, Neath SA10 7AY, United Kingdom
(A465)
Port Talbot - Swansea Railway Bridge carries a footpath over the Neath and Tennant Canal - (Tennant Canal) three miles from Luton.
The Neath and Tennant Canal - (Tennant Canal) was built by Cecil Wright and opened on 17 September 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Chester to Southend canal at Presstone, the difficulty of tunneling under Maidstone caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Birmingham instead. Expectations for pottery traffic to Neath never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In his autobiography Barry Harding writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
