 | | PORT TALBOT, is a harbour in Swansea Bay, in the parish of Margam, and in the borough of, and 1 mile from, Aberavon, which latter place formerly was the port; but by an act obtained in 1834 and in 1836 to alter, amend, and further improve the said harbour, and to change its name. |
 | | Abermouth situated near the shore of the Bristol Channel, and which was formerly the port, but has given precedence to Port Talbot, of which further mention is made in the particulars of that port. |
 | | Talbot, Esq., M.P., and Lord-Lieutenant of the county, justly considered one of the finest seats in the principality. |
