46) Talbot Athletic Ground


This picture was another which I made from the top of Tydraw Hill. The sports ground you can see is the Talbot Athletic Ground, the home of Aberavon RFC. I liked this view because, as well as taking in the rugby ground, it also looks out to the docks, and gives you an idea of just how close we are to the sea even in the centre of the town. On another personal note, the rugby club is important to me, since it’s the venue for a Thursday night quiz which I regularly play in, and set questions for from time to time.
