About Port Talbot - Port Talbot is an industrial town in the traditional county of Glamorgan, south Wales, UK, with a population of approximately 50,000. The town grew out of the original small port and market town of Aberafan (Aberavon), which belonged to the medieval Lords of Afan. It built its wealth on the abundance of coal in the vicinity and on the abundant water available in the River Afan to power machinery and operate the docks.
Shopping - The Aberafan Shopping Centre is the only indoor shopping complex in Port Talbot, Wales. The shopping complex comprises over sixty stores on two levels and houses the central library for Port Talbot.

Where the library is situated today, there was formerly a market area with stalls operated mainly by local traders.
Things to do - The ‘Baked Bean Museum of Excellence’ was conceived as well as created while Captain Beany had ‘half-baked’ idea of allowing devotees with ‘full-blown addiction’ to ‘Baked beans’ to have visited this certainly remarkable and ‘worlds-only’ ‘visual haricot heaven’. This museum has started drawing global attention of media and various visitors from every walk of life have actually been shocked with diversity depicted by ‘bake bean memorabila’.
