The mural has been added alongside an existing portrait of actor, Michael Sheen

Writing on social media, Steve Jenkins, known as street artist ‘Jenks’ said: “Meyrick Sheen was at one time more famous than his son and still very fondly thought of in the town of Port Talbot. So it only seemed right that he should join his son in the mural in Forge Road after passing away last weekend. My condolences to the family.”
