Came across this site by accident. I was surprised to find in first photo of St Helier Drive the man standing in the garden is my father. We moved there in 1957 when I was 6 years old. I am now 70. They lived in that house for 63 years. Dad Passed away 2013 aged 89 , my mother in 2015 aged 87. Many memories of growing up there. RIP both.
Came across this by page by chance. These photos have brought back so many wonderful memories of my childhood and growing up in Port Talbot 🙂. seeing my family home and the gentleman I called uncle Viv standing on his front garden in St Helier drive, both Viv and his wife Lil were very much a big part of my life back then, such wonderful neighbours.
When I was a young boy, there was no Afon Way. No Baglan Industrial Park. No M4. Between the estate and the A 48 was what we called The Pills. Trees shrubs, slow moving waterways. Birds. Fish. Hares. Voles. Eels. Huge sand dunes and fresh water shallow lakes. What a crying shame, all now buried under furnace slag.
Lived in Old Rd Baglan after being born in Neath General Hospital.Looked out on most of those views from home.My father worked in the Whitford Works which was absorbed by British Steel.Lovely calming video.
THE worst atrocity that NPTCBC ever did was to demolish Beach Hill ... just think of the millions of people who walked over there to go to the beach in the decades gone by ... what's there now is a complete eyesore

Margam is not Port Talbot. Port Talbot is an absolute sulphuric hell
Margam is part of Port Talbot, the park is run by Neath Port Talbot council.
