 According to the Atlas of the GWR 1947, by R A COOKE this is the old Vale of Neath line, not the GWR main line to Swansea. |

| This was Ebenezer chapel, demolished some time ago (1990s?).
Currently a new evangelical church is being built on the same site. |

Humble apologies on this but the railway is the GWR but not the South Wales Main Line. The line ran from Neath Riverside to Jersey Marine South Junction. |

 Tallest part of structure at the west end of the nave. The temporary safety fences have arrived since my last visit! |

I have just read a fascinating account of how a team of volunteers - led initially by Glen A. Taylor and after his death in 1935 by C. Stanley Thomas - laboured each Saturday to shift 7,000 tons of rubble etc. out of the abbey ruins. This project began in 1923 and ended with the outbreak of WWII. They had no machinery, but rigged up their own 'railway' within the abbey on which to move their skips. |

The railway line in the foreground is the former Swansea and Neath Railway, later the Vale of Neath Railway and then Great Western Railway. It ran from the Dulais and Neath Valleys (left) to Swansea Docks and Jersey Marine Junction South (right) |
