	Rhondda Railways (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		By 1862 the Taff Vale Railway extended to Treherbert in the Rhondda Fawr and Ferndale in the Rhondda Fach.
		In the 1870 the demand for the 'matchless' steam coal of the Rhondda Valleys increased at an astonishing rate and the railway and docks were caught unprepared.
		It was not surprising that Rhondda Coal owners adopted a militant attitude and sought dock and railway accommodation elsewhere.

		We have the Rhondda Heritage Park where you are able to pay a few pounds to play at being a miner.

	POLICING THE RHONDDA
		As a result the Rhondda was not considered important enough to justify the appointment of a constable stationed in the valley until 1852.
		That there is now being made in the Rhondda Fawr and Rhondda Fach Valleys two new lines of Railway called the Rhondda Branches being together about 13 and a half miles long...new lines of railway have brought several hundred Railway Excavators and others to the neighbourhood, and the number will shortly be increased.
		The distance from the nearest police station to the centre of population in the Rhondda is 5 miles.

	The Rhondda Valley: Touring Wales on Britannia
		Wherever in the world Welshmen and women gather, one of the hymns always sung is to the tune "Cwm Rhondda" (the Valley of the Rhondda).
		The Rhondda is really two valleys, Rhondda Fawr (including Treherbert, Treorchy, Tonypandy, and Porth) and Rhondda Fach (including Maerdy, Ferndale, and Tylorstown) separated by the nearly 2000 ft high Cefn Rhondda Ridge.
		The decline of the coal industry beginning in the 1930's brought tremendous hardship to the whole valley, dependent as it was upon one main industry, and the government has been very concerned and involved in the setting up of light industries to alleviate one of the highest unemployment levels in Britain.

	UWA Museum & Galleries at the School of Art: George Chapman—The Rhondda Suite
		The people who inhabit this harsh environment are an integral part of its make up observed as they go about their daily routine; shopping, hanging out the washing, the children playing whilst their parents gossip on a street corner.
		Forty years on he was still painting the Rhondda, reflecting the changes that had occurred there since that first dark, wet day in 1953 which 'transformed his purpose'.
		Chapman's etchings, drawings and paintings of the Rhondda Valley are a record a particular place and time-not a topographical record but a mood inspired by the character of that place — a record of the people of the mining communities and their homes.

		The Rhondda today bears little relation to the busy place it once was, with all the hustle and bustle of the mining days.
		Lots of the little village and town shops run by the same families for generations have now disappeared, and more and more Rhondda folk are having to travel to the larger stores on the perimeter of the Valleys.
		In the Rhondda Fawr, from Porth to Tylorstown, a new bypass road has been under construction since 2005.

	Rhondda Local Customs - Travel Guide - VirtualTourist.com
		Even though so many people and their homes were crammed into such small space, as they were surrounded by mountains, the valleys communities are much nearer to open countryside than other industrial areas of Britain.
		There is a rising number of bilinguals (welsh and english speakers) due to the rising popularity of Welsh medium schools as more and more choose to send their children to these schools.
		The housing was created purely to house the miners (most built at end of 19th/beginning of 20th century as mines were sunk), who came to valleys for work.

	Welcome to FlyFishWales
		I had hitched a lift from Treherbet at the top of the Rhondda Fawr (Big Rhondda) valley, once synonymous throughout the world with coal mining, and walked down the gravel road towards the mountain lake with great anticipation.
		I treat Llyn Fawr as my learning phase as what I say now is that if you can catch a fish here then you can catch fish anywhere.
		As soon as the stocked fish became aware of their surroundings natural instincts took over and the trout seemed to be almost wild and refuse almost all but the best of fly patterns.

		This is owned by the Local Authority and is adjacent to the Rhondda Heritage Centre.

		The Rhondda Fach would really benefit from a rail service as the population could then travel easier and not have to pay the high prices of the buses.
		What about the disabled / older generation of people in the Rhondda Fach and the young people who i know have their parents to give them a lift to Porth railway station to get a train for example to Cardiff instead of paying the high prices of the buses.
		Why does the Cynon Valley have their trains carriages increased to four per train when it is not used as much as the Rhondda service which trains are over crowded compared to the Cynon Valley.

	The Treherbert railway branch in South Wales
		The gateway to the Rhondda (despite the literal translation of Porth, the next station up the line), the community nestles in a hollow at the foot of the valley, the railway elevated above it.
		The bus station is at the other end of town from the railway station, where a side valley leads to Clydach Vale, location of the Rhondda's last major mining disaster at the Cambrian Colliery where 31 men lost their lives in 1965.
		Though, with varying degrees of ease, there is access to the open mountain moorland from all of the stations along the route, Treherbert is the start of spectacular walks to waterfalls at the head of the valley.

	www.gwales.com - 9780752428437, Rhondda Fawr
		Like other books of its kind, this one tends to concentrate on photos of Old Rhondda during the heyday of coal, that is to say in Victorian and Edwardian times.
		The result is a plethora of industrial scenes of unremitting grimness, as if all the Rhondda had to show the world was pits and filthy living conditions.
		But at least it also shows people, hordes of them at work and play, so that we get an impression of Rhondda as a bustling, thriving place where wages were comparatively good (three times as high as those for agricultural labourers), even though the housing stock was primitive and social amenities almost non-existent.

		In the December of 1853, however, PC 20 Ebenezer Jenkins was still the only policeman in the Rhondda when the first Rhondda Riot broke out.
		It must have been an extremely frightening experience for him and the advice issued to him in his instruction book "to spring his rattle" should he need assistance must have seemed entirely inappropriate to him!
		The trouble arose out of a dispute between the Taff Vale Railway Company which was then extending its railway (Merthyr-Cardiff) from Pontypridd up the Rhondda Fawr, and the contractors carrying out these works for the company (Messrs.
