Talacre

The Talacre estate (Talacre Abbey) and Talacre Hall, built in 1829, were the home of the Mostyn baronets of Talacre. The Carmelite Margaret Mostyn grew up on the estate in the early 1600s. In 1919 the Mostyn family sold the estate by auction and in 1921 it was occupied by a community of Benedictine nuns, who moved out in 1988. The main hall, a grade II* listed building, now functions as a private house again, but was renamed Westbury Castle. ==Railways==

The village was served by Talacre railway station on the North Wales Coast Line until it was closed in 1966. == References ==
