Maesteg Town Hall, Wales
Talbot Street
Site Rating 1, Seating 500
Maesteg Town Hall was officially opened Oct 22, 1881. Queen Mary attended a social services function at the town hall in April 1938, the actor Richard Burton performed as a child at a local festival in the building in 1939 and the contralto singer, Kathleen Ferrier, made an appearance on 13 May 1944. Another visitor was Arnold Schwarzenegger performing a bodybuilding contest there in 1967. No information found in regards to boxing being held there.
A couple websites say that it houses a 550 seat theater. Possibly where boxing matches were held?
