Topic: Ystalyfera


  
  Welcome to the website of Ystalyfera Development Trust
Ystalyfera Development Trust is set at the heart of the community in a former public house just off the main road through the village.
The Upper Swansea Valley in which Ystalyfera is located is a series of close knit communities characterised by its former mining activities and more than its fair share of problems associated with de-industrialisation, poor local services and a lack of access to employment and other opportunities.
However, Ystalyfera is nevertheless a vibrant place that has managed to attract new investment and in recent years through the work of the Trust and a number partner agencies, a range of new business, social enterprise and access to community based learning facilities have all been established and become a thriving part of the community.

It was then they, Ystalyfera, announced they wanted to kick off at 18.30 and that's when the trouble started.
Their first try came from a turn over in mid-field when centre, David Lamb, made the half break, but the ball was knocked back and the centres being out of line couldn't stop the following kick and rush which allowed Ystalyfera to score the first of their seven tries of the game.
Within 5 minutes of the restart we added a penalty to our score before they came back at us with a line out on our line which developed into a maul and then a touch down.

At Ystalyfera, beyond all doubt, the culture ground of the Vibrio cholerae was the human body, and the discharges from it were the source of contagion.
They infected the ground, the water or the immediate surroundings of the patient, the poison finding the entrance into the bodies of the healthy by means of food and drink, which became contaminated in various ways, e.g.
The graveyards, some of them crammed with the dead, in one case, that of Pant-teg, standing on higher ground and surrounded by houses, the others unfit for the purpose of burial, became marked centres of virulence during the course of the epidemic.
