	South Wales Valleys Population (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Whereas in 1801 less than 20% of the 'Population of Wales lived in the two counties of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire, by 1911 nearly 63% of the people of Wales were to be found in these counties.
		The reason for this shift in the balance of population was of course the growth of the iron and the coal industries in South Wales.
		Such was the incredible growth of South Wales at this time that it absorbed immigrants at a faster rate than anywhere in the world except the U. Up to the 1890s the majority of the people entering Glamorgan had come from other counties in Wales.

	ff : archive > the valleys project
		During the five years of the project to 1990, it has drawn together the work of photographers resident in Wales and from further afield, to create a contemporary visual record and social commentary encompassing a broad geographical spread of the South Wales Valleys.
		This particular project sought to deal directly with the communities of the Valleys, and in particular the resonance of the Miners' Strike, although the inclusion of Peter Fraser within this context proved to be something of a departure, as his contribution, the first series in colour, contradicted mainstream documentary modes, by utilizing oblique photographic depictions.
		In 1990, the last contribution to the Valleys Project, William Tsui was awarded a major commission to document the Upper Afan Valley in general and the village of Aber/Blaengwynfi in particular, and its community as it stands today in the 1990's.

		That the Celts and pre-Aryans of South Britain were able to preserve themselves as a federation of non-Germanic peoples in the western parts of the island was doubtless due to the physical character of the country, which the Romans named "Britannis Secunda", and the English called Wales.
		Gloucestershire, Somersetshire, and the south of Ireland are the districts which have most largely recruited the population of South Wales, chiefly by settlement in the big towns.
