36Acorn Directory of Services Neath Port Talbot.Pdf
FOREWORD Acorn was set up by a group of volunteers in August 2011 to promote positive mental health and improve the emotional health and wellbeing of individuals experiencing mental health issues in Neath Port Talbot. This directory has been produced because members of Acorn identified the need for information about services and support organisations to be easily available and in one place. It is estimated that one in four people will experience mental ill health at some point in their lifetime, so mental illness will, at one time or another impact on many of our lives, either directly or through family, friends or colleagues. It is important to be able to find the right help, support and guidance easily so we hope this directory will help to achieve this. We have tried to focus on local services, but where these don’t exist we have put together a section on national organisations, websites and help lines. If you would like to comment on the directory or contact members of Acorn please email: [email protected]. For further information, please contact Emma Jones on 01639 631 246.

A FURTHER FIND of EDWARD PENNIES at NEATH ABBEY In
A FURTHER FIND OF EDWARD PENNIES AT NEATH ABBEY By R. H. M. DOLLEY In November 1956 a small hoard of exactly 100 silver pence of the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries was found in the course of Ministry of Works maintenance work on the western range of the monastic buildings at Neath Abbey. An earlier paper has suggested, it is hoped convincingly, that the concealment of the hoard is to be associated with the search for the fugitive Edward II who was arrested at Neath in the late autumn of 1326.1 Early in April 1957 in the course of further works there was discovered a second hoard, this time of 66 coins, concealed in a "putlog" hole of the vault at a slightly lower level and some three feet away from the cache which had contained the original parcel. Again there is no trace of a container, and the archaeological evidence is that the two groups of coins had been con- cealed in separate hiding-places at about the same time. A detailed study of the coins favours this hypothesis, and in the paper that follows it is hoped to demonstrate that the weight of the evidence suggests very strongly that the two parcels had been concealed by the same individual on the same occasion. At an inquest held in June a further verdict of treasure trove was returned. The finders have received the full market value of the hoard which has been acquired by the National Museum of Wales. The 66 coins, again all silver pennies, may be listed as follows. -
Grenville Research
David & Jenny Carter Nimrod Research Docton Court 2 Myrtle Street Appledore Bideford North Devon EX39 1PH www.nimrodresearch.co.uk [email protected] GRENVILLE RESEARCH This report has been produced to accompany the Historical Research and Statement of Significance Reports into Nos. 1 to 5 Bridge Street, Bideford. It should be noted however, that the connection with the GRENVILLE family has at present only been suggested in terms of Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Bridge Street. I am indebted to Andy Powell for locating many of the reference sources referred to below, and in providing valuable historical assistance to progress this research to its conclusions. In the main Statement of Significance Report, the history of the buildings was researched as far as possible in an attempt to assess their Heritage Value, with a view to the owners making a decision on the future of these historic Bideford properties. I hope that this will be of assistance in this respect.

Neath Abbey Ironworks
Great Archaeological Sites in Neath Port Talbot 6. NEATH ABBEY IRONWORKS Neath Abbey ironworks, founded at the end of the 18th century on the banks of the River Clyne, is fundamentally important for the history of all heavy industry in South Wales. Established and run by Quakers who refused on ethical grounds to make armaments for the Napoleonic Wars, it quickly specialised in civil engineering. It was a pioneer in the development of steam engines, both locomotives and fixed engines to power the mining and metal industries. The whole process was carried out at the same site (SS 7376 9806), from smelting the ore and processing the resulting pig iron, to designing, building and repairing engines, which it supplied to many other South Wales works. At the heart of the works were the two blast furnaces which still survive to nearly their full height. As is the rule in this area, they were built against a hillside that had been cut back for the purpose. Iron ore, limestone and coke were loaded from the top along the charging ramps; the one to the southern furnace still survives in part. Slag from the final blast still coats part of the inside of the northern furnace. The blast was provided by a steam engine bought from Boulton and Watt in 1793, the first time this technology was used in South Wales. There would originally have been casting houses in front of the furnaces, but these have been completely demolished, as have other buildings where the pig iron was processed. One building that does survive is the rolling mill, constructed in 1825 further up the river where a weir provided power for a waterwheel to drive the machinery. -

KENNEL NAMES 32 KENNEL CLUB SGM REPORT 33 Is your dog a star? FEES 36 The Kennel Club is calling for dog lovers who are competing at Crufts in any activity or discipline to help show the world just how great dogs are. Every year, to promote Crufts and the many roles that dogs play in society, the Kennel Club press office looks for inspiring dogs and owners with interesting stories that it can communicate to the media, who are often interested in dog-related stories in the run up to Crufts and during the show itself. To give competitors at Crufts the potential opportunity to tell their dog’s special story to the wider world, the Kennel Club has set up an online form, which can be filled in by visiting www.surveymonkey.com/r/Crufts125years. Examples of stories that might be of interest are: Dogs that have changed their owners’ lives, dogs that have overcome adversity to excel in something, oldest and youngest Crufts competitors, two or more generations of the same family competing at Crufts, a family with a combined 125 years of being involved in dogs (to celebrate 125 years of the show), competitors who found love through their dog The Kennel Club press office will then look for the most suitable stories to promote to various media in the run up to the 125th anniversary show in March. -
