A Porthcawl landmark has been given a new life.

The historic Jennings Building on the seafront at Porthcawl has reopened after a £2.5m refurbishment and lying empty for a decade.

Built in 1832, the Jennings Building was originally constructed as the southern terminus of the Dyffryn Llynfi Porthcawl horse-drawn tram road, which was used to transport iron and coal from the Llynfi Valley, and was more recently used as an indoor skatepark.

The building contains three food and drink businesses on the ground floor – a coffee shop, a pizzeria and a 5,000 square foot kitchen bar and restaurant.
