Western entrance to Llanwern Steelworks
This view was taken in February 2012, when there was a guard's hut and barriers across the road.
Since then, the guard's hut and barriers have gone following a major upgrade of the road which was a private road in this view. It is now a public road, the A4810 to Magor. The steelworks entrance is now from the eastern (Magor) side.

Access road to Celtic Business Park, Newport
Viewed from the A4810. Celtic Business Park is a major new 100 acre industrial and warehousing scheme in the east of Newport, on a brownfield regeneration site. The land was formerly part of Llanwern Steelworks. At the early September 2013 date of this view, the signs are in place for the yet-to-be built business park, which will be adjacent to the Glan Llyn residential scheme, where houses are being built. When complete, the combined schemes will provide c4,000 new homes and more than 1.5 million square feet of new employment space.
