The derelict shops occupy part of a former church. The inscription on the building is TRINITY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF WALES BUILT 1878 REBUILT 1905.

Ebenezer Baptist Church is partly in view, from the centre to the left.

The town centre Indian takeaway is at 1, Foundry Bridge. Next door at 1, Tillery Street is Ted's Newsagents. The former Abertillery Central Snooker Club http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3510930 is on the left.

On the left is Ted's Newsagents at 1 Tillery Street. In the middle is Space Youth Cafe. On the right is Gourmet House, fish & chips and Chinese cuisine takeaway.

Viewed from Church Street. In Abertillery, as in the rest of the UK, a double yellow line indicates that parking is not permitted at any time (24 hours). Loading or unloading is allowed on double (and single) yellow lines. Perhaps the drivers of both the vehicles seen here were out of sight in buildings during a loading or unloading session for the few seconds before and after this view was taken...

Among the shops in view on the east side of Church Street is Hector's Cozy Cafe & Chippy.

Located on the corner of the town centre street named Foundry Bridge. The building was erected in 1898 for the Powell Tillery Coal Company, probably as part of the Gray Colliery. In 1901, it was bought by a group of local businessmen, traders and workers. First registered as a billiard hall and private club, in 1902 it became The Abertillery Liberal and Labour Club. Throughout its existence it remained a private members, men-only, non-profit making club. The club later changed its name to The Abertillery Central Snooker Club and Institute. Many players from the club went on to become top Welsh amateur champions. In 1956, the club, one of more than a thousand entrants that year, won a national team snooker competition sponsored by The News Chronicle. In later years, the club struggled financially. Dwindling membership and the lack of interest in snooker generally led to closure of the club in 2007.
