Neath Abbey Ironworks open day

Vic James and company have revived the Friends of Neath Abbey Ironworks Company, and I have altered the link on the emblem to the right to point to their Facebook page. My own pages still exist and I hope to add to them as I have more time.

This weekend just finished saw a repeat of last year's successful open days. The Friends have done a remarkable job in clearing the site, aided by the National Lottery and an EU grant via the county borough. Pictured below is Bill Zajac, who I see from his Cadw c.v. specialises in mediaeval castles and warfare,  delivering an enlightening, authoritative talk from the mouth of a monument to the industrial revolution, blast furnace no. 2 of the former Neath Abbey ironworks.
