Cameron Jones Hussell & Howe Port Talbot
So, I was wandering around Port Talbot the other day, you know, just killing time, when I stumbled upon this place - Cameron Jones, Hussell & Howe. Now, I've lived here all my life, but this place was like a hidden gem I'd never noticed before. I mean, how could I have missed it?
First things first, let's talk about the building. It's like a slice of history right in the middle of our modern town. I'm talking old-school architecture, the kind that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. The sign out front, all worn and weathered, just adds to the charm, don't you think?
Now, you might be wondering, what's so special about this place? Well, buckle up, because I'm about to blow your mind. This isn't just some ordinary shop, no sirree. It's a hardware store, but not like any you've seen before. I mean, who needs a boring old hardware store when you can have one that's been around since the 1800s?
