57) Talbot Memorial Park Gates and Lodges


The Talbot Memorial Park is next door to St. Theodore’s Church, which is significant since I believe that this was also largely the creation of the Talbot family of Margam Park. The inscription shows that the Park was first opened in 1925. It’s a grade II listed structure, as are the two lodge houses on either side of the gates. As you enter the park, the house on the right is occupied, but the house on the left is in need of some renovation, and is fenced off to prevent access.
