Port Talbot Town
Heritage Trail 2024
Port Talbot town centre has changed unrecognisably over the last fifty years, and while it is now a pleasant place to shop, and about to develop even more, whole areas of the town, some remembered, some long forgotten, have disappeared.
This section of our website will guide you round the centre of the town, and from 10 Vantage Points, linked by QR codes to the information you need, give you the hidden stories behind the ancient river crossing, some of the lovely old buildings, and memories of what once stood here.
