Groes, Port Talbot

Groes was a village south of Port Talbot in the county of Glamorgan, Wales. It was demolished in 1976 to make way for Junction 39 of the new M4 motorway.[1][2]

The village was built in the 1830s, designed by the architect Edward Haycock.[1] It included the octagonal Beulah Calvinistic Methodist Chapel (built in 1838) and later a school (built in 1860);[2] the school was paid for by Christopher Rice Mansel Talbot, then owner of Margam Castle.[3]

Despite Port Talbot Council's deputy engineer proposing an alternative route for the M4 motorway, in 1974 it was confirmed the village would be destroyed.[1] The village's 21 families were rehoused and the houses and school were demolished in 1976.[2] A new school had been built in nearby Margam in 1973, while the Beulah Chapel was dismantled and rebuilt in the nearby Tollgate Park.[2]
