"TAIBACH, a chapelry, with a suburban village, in Margam parish, Glamorgan; on the South Wales railway, adjacent to Port-Talbot r. station, and to Aberavon. ... The statistics are returned with the parish. There are copper-works. The living is annexed to Margam." [From John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72) on Vision of Britain]
"TAIBACH, a village in the parish of Margam, distant about 1½ mile from Aberavon, and something less from Port Talbot. The principal feature here is the extensive copper works of Messrs. Vivian & Sons, which employ a great number of hands, through which the inhabitants are almost entirely dependend. There is a chapel of ease under Margam parish church, and a chapel for the Calvinistic Methodists, likewise a school supported by the above works." [Slaters Commercial Directory, 1858-1859]
