	Rhondda - LoveToKnow 1911
		RHONDDA (formerly Ystradyfodwg), an urban district and parliamentary division of Glamorganshire, South Wales.
		Though the urban district measures 23,884 acres, the area built upon is generally a narrow strip on either side of each river except at Treorky and Ton, where the valley of the Rhondda Fawr opens out a little.
		The development of the Rhondda coal-field was later in date than those of Aberdare and Merthyr, and it received its chief impetus from the American Civil War.

		Rhondda Cynon Taff (Welsh: Rhondda Cynon Tâf) is a county borough in Glamorgan, south Wales.
		The district borders Merthyr Tydfil and Caerphilly to the east, Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan to the south, Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot to the west and Powys to the north.
		Recent decades have shown great improvement with Salmon recorded from the River Taff and the River Rhondda but the continued presence of man-made obstacles in the rivers is inhibiting their return to their pre-industrial condition.

	About Pontypridd
		It is now part of the borough of Rhondda Cynon Taff, which includes The Rhondda,Cynon Valley and Llantrisant, one of the oldest towns in South Wales.
		The name of the town refers originally to a footbridge across the River Taff where the River Rhondda flowed into it, at the end of which used to be a primitive turf, or earth house.
		From the bridge looking up the river on the left is Craig-yr-Hesg headland, which once gave its name to another footbridge, built of timber, across the river known as Pont-yr-Hesg.

	The Parish of Ystradyfodwg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The scenery from this bridge to the first and only known and frequented waterfall on this river, which is a salmon- leap, and frequently mistaken by strangers for the cascade before described on the Taff, is highly interesting, singular and impressive.
		The ascent from this fall is steep and lofty, and after a short space presents a new scene, at the junction of the two rivers, Rhondda Fawr and Rhondda Fach, which by their confluence form a more important stream, whose banks we have hitherto skirted.
		A second bridge over the Rhondda, on the other side of which the road winds to the left furnishes a most interesting point of view, embracing the country just traversed on the one part, and on the other the wider grandeur of what remains to be explored.

	Canoeing in The Welsh Valleys, white water around Hobo Backpackers.
		The Valley's rivers did suffer polution due to heavy industry, but since most of the mines closed 20+ years ago and the improved environmental regulations, the rivers are cleaner and support an increasing amount of wild life.
		The River Usk is one of the largest rivers in the area and is used by many canoe groups.
		This river has been featured in some of the big waterfall epics by Shaun Baker and Co. It’s a great paddle but there are a couple of portages, some with difficulty.

	Wales Underground - The Rhondda Heritage Park
		The name Rhondda is often quoted as being synonymous with that of coal, however just over a century and a half ago the Rhondda valleys were almost unknown and existed as a sparsely populated rural wilderness.
		1855 is the date accepted as marking the change of the rural scene in Rhondda and the historic change to heavy industry, although coal was mined in the Rhondda as early as the seventeenth century for domestic purposes.
		Trehafod village grew mainly as a result of the industrial revolution and the rich bituminous coal in the lower Rhondda and the accessibility of the Glamorgan Canal and purpose built tram roads, the lower Rhondda saw rapid economic growth in the nineteenth century.

	RIVER FLOODS ACROSS WALES OF 1998
		However in Wales, with the exception of the Rivers Wye and Severn, long records (in excess of 50 years) of annual maxima river flows are limited and, in the case of small catchments, non-existent.
		River flows in the Neath itself are estimated to have a return period of between 10 and 40 years.
		Other flooding on main river occurred at Presteigne and Kington where 15 properties were flooded from the river Lugg and a further 24 at Pembridge, Kington and Eardisland when the Arrow overtopped the natural channel.

		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.

		THIS navigation commences in the tideway of the River Dee, close to the north side of the town of Kirkcudbright, whence it takes a northerly course, running parallel with and on the east bank of the Dee, by Kelton House, to Loch Ken, into which it enters a short distance south of Glenlochar Bridge.
		A branch is also to be made from near Saul to the River Severn at Hock Cribb, in the parish of Arlington, of nearly one mile and a quarter in length.
		The distance, by the river, from Sharpness Point to Gloucester, is twenty-eight miles, while by the canal it is only sixteen miles and a half, consequently there is a saving of more than eleven miles.

		Within the early mining settlements in the Rhondda, though life was hard and the going crude, the settlers were not without the steadying influence of their natural leaders.
		So it was off to the Rhondda valley in the morning and the man who owned a horse got there first, into the virgin green valley and quickly created all the worst environmental conditions of primitive mining camps so often found all over the world.
		Evidence of gross brutality was not forthcoming in the 1842 Report and the employment of women seems to have been confined in the main to clay carrying and moulding for bricks, some hand-screening of coal and the pushing and greasing of trams (‘drams’) at pit tops.

		Just upstream, where the river ran along the back of a row of houses, Rob located a classic pool which produced several good trout, in spite of one of the householders throwing his junk over the garden wall into the river.

		On the other side of the River Taff was Ynysyngharad house and estate (now the Park), and the famous chain works, as well as numerous cottage housing boatmen and others engaged in work on the busy canal.
		Courts were held in the town but as in most other places where no court room had been built, the magistrates met in any room large enough to suit their purpose, usually the "long room" of a public house.
		This development was well overdue for although the police strength of the Newbridge District had remained the same as in 1841, the population of the Rhondda had increased fourfold and that the number of collieries had increased from 3 to 12.
