I'm talking close to 40 years ago now. Many of those villages/towns etc, have had improvements, and there are some nice areas there now. Much different.
I used to work for a pest control company, that had loads of contracts for many different places. Cardiff prison, usk detention centre, cardiff university hospital, whitchurch hospital, a few places down bristol docks, cardiff docks, four or five golf courses, army barracks on city road, and many other places, as well as individual houses shops etc, and we did the sewers in loads of areas in south wales.
Brilliant job
