History
The original Welsh name, Tonysguboriau which means “barns in an unploughed field” has survived alongside the English Talbot Green. The area of land where the village was to emerge was shown on maps at the time as being owned by Sir Charles Chetwynd Talbot, second Earl Talbot of Hensol. In 1859 the first dwelling was built in the form of the Talbot Arms; throughout the 1860’s more houses were built adjoining the pub and the area became known as Talbot Row. We know the street today as Talbot Road and the village name as Talbot Green.
