Emily Talbot’s “Her Story” of Port Talbot

A brand new audio walk launches in celebration of Women’s History Month.

South West Wales Connected Community Rail Partnership, in collaboration with Community Storywork, have launched the second in a series of audio walks from railway stations along South West Wales rail network.

“Her Story” tells the story of Emily Charlotte Talbot, the Victorian heiress who transformed a small Welsh village into an industrial powerhouse. Along the way, you’ll hear from women who keep Emily’s story alive: volunteers, artists, educators, and performers.

This tour honours the women whose care, vision, and quiet authority have shaped Port Talbot across generations – often without recognition, yet never without impact.

The free, downloadable audio walk is available now on VoiceMap or scan the QR code below!

Emily Talbot’s “Her Story” has been kindly funded by Great Western Railway.
