I worked for IBM out of the Bristol office and did quite a bit of work on sites in and around Ebbw and Myrthir-Tydfil (Hoover factory).
What I noticed most about it back then 1980-82 was how spectacularly grimy everything was and how it looked like nothing had been cleaned or painted since God was a boy.

Big changes in 30 years.

To be honest, I miss the sea when I'm too far away from it.
After numerous years, you tend to become accustomed to it always being there.

Pembrokeshire beaches out in the west, beautiful and NOT commercialised.

The beach is older than 30. Not changed much, same pebbles, sand and water

Hoovers gone now, big old place. Was like something out of Stalingrad!!
Owen’s lorry/fuel company bought it and knocked it down. Big job
