Brief description

https://cadw.gov.wales/open-doors-taibach-community-education-centre

"Taibach Community Education Centre is based at the old Eastern School, which educated children in Port Talbot from 1831 to the mid­twentieth century. The building is most famous for its connection to Richard Burton, who was a founder member of the youth club and gave some of his earliest public performances on the stage in the hall. Currently, the building is undergoing a project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. This will lead to the development of a new heritage trail in the building promoting its history, as well as the renovation of the hall and the craft room.

This is a very special event because it is the public opening of our new interpretation scheme at the community centre. As part of our grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, we are installing a heritage trail and timeline through the building, drawing on our volunteers’ archive research and oral history interviews. There will also be the opportunity for tours of the building, exhibits on its history, and free refreshments."
