£1m restoration for Porthcawl harbour landmark buildings

The Grade II listed Customs House will have its doors, windows and slate roof reinstated

Landmark buildings in Porthcawl's harbour area, including its former Customs House and pilot lookout tower, are to be brought back into use.

The £1m restoration project is financed by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Bridgend council and Cadw, the Welsh government's historic environment service.

Work begins this week.

Other properties, including the former Knight's Arms pub, have also been earmarked for upgrades.

The pilot lookout tower will get new windows, doors and roofing, and the outside staircase will be fixed
