    I live near Bridgend which is around 15 miles away from port Talbot and I used to work for a container firm and I spent loads of time in the steel works and it's an absolutely massive site that you can easily get lost in , I'm very surprised how easy it was for you guys to access those areas and the power is still on wasting thousands of pounds, thanks for the video.

    UK gov destroyed all the Welsh industries Coal first now Steel. Clyde Bank in Scotland had the worst deal. Ship building for hundreds of yrs but Maggie the stupid woman that she was did not read the small print where it stated that because the EU had paid the redundancies they could never build ships again. All that infrastructure wasted. MP,s have devastated our country

    I'm not sure it's abandoned. The blast furnaces are shut down but steel is being imported to be processed so the cranes would work with that. I think you just arrived at a shut down period.

      My only concern is other less experienced people will try and get up these cranes and try and do something silly endangering theirs and others lives. It’s not a good place to be as it’s a very hazardous place, although I reckon security will be more switched on seeing this video.

    On that side of the beach is the remains of a ship wreck and I believe a WW2 tank.
