There are many interesting streets and buildings in this old town which
dates back to pre-Roman times.

indicating it was built in 1837.

Above: The junction of Wind Street (ahead) and New Street (left). The centre
of this friendly town has recently been pedestrianised.

Above left: The Neath Constitutional Club in Orchard Street. This attractive
Victorian Gothic edifice was erected in 1880. Note the oriel window projecting
from the right-hand corner of the building, mirroring the tower of St. David's
Church beyond.
