Turdtowns on Youtube on 22:27 - Dec 10 with 2013 views | howenjack | Ive spent a bit of time looking at those . I think Penrys Rhondda came out top certainly in the mid Glamorgan category . Gwent' s champion was Rhymney I believe with a mention in dispatches for Cwmbran . Worth a look on You tube . [Post edited 10 Dec 2023 22:29]

I like living here myself , wherever you go there are difficult and dodgy areas . Unfortunately Neath and Swansea Centres for shopping , I avoid unless necessary calls . Sad to say I do not want to venture into Swansea any more for trade . | | | |

I’ve been living away now for 47 years . In 76 ,things were starting to get depressing, they were tough days but the acceleration from relative vibrancy to increasing depression was striking . I was down for a Stoke game once and booked a bnb on Riverfront .Took wife was meal in Portuguese restaurant on Kingsway and shikstvfood was fine,the overwhelming ambience really upset me and next day was virtually inconsolable as to the way the city had gone to the dogs. Visiting Mumbles didn’t help much either after seeing the Antelope as it was . It was a focal point for the whole of south west Wales . It was the natural shopping area for the Swansea Valley. Old photos of Swansea really pull on my heart strings | |

Penrhys use to be the wild west known locally as lil Beirut. In the 80s it was awful, They pulled down 3/4 of the place and it is now just a basic ghost town. At one point the busses were not aloud to go around the site. Due to being robbed so frequently 🥶 | |

I remember that place well wow what a place, it was like Belfast during the troubles I used to go up there in the mid 1980's with an old girl friend to visit her Dad. Boarded up houses everywhere covered in graffiti, skinheads wondering around sniffing glue & petrol nasty nasty place | |
