Briton Ferry mural painted over after appearing on wall without permission

A mural of a 19th Century engineer which appeared on the side of a building has been painted over after the owner said they were not asked for permission.

The image of Isambard Kingdom Brunel was done by artist Steve Jenkins on a property on Neath Road in Briton Ferry, Neath Port Talbot, and was funded and unveiled by Neath Port Talbot councillor Gareth Rice earlier this year.

But the owner said no-one had contacted them about the plan and the painting came as a shock.

Brunel, who is described as one of the most “versatile and audacious” engineers of his time, built Briton Ferry Dock to handle coal and goods for the Vale of Neath Railway.
