  • Talybont-On-Usk.Pdf
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. B29 - TALYBONT-ON-USK Introduction 1. The north-east part of present community of Talybont-on-Usk lies in the valley of the river Usk where the main settlements in the community - the 2nd tier settlements of Pencelli and Talybont and the unclassified settlements of Scethrog and Llansantffraed - are located. To the north, the valley rises steeply to Allt yr Esgair, which provides a natural boundary between this community and the community of Llangors. In the south, the landscape of this community is defined by the more undulating moorland and heavily forested extents of the eastern Brecon Beacons. It is the high points of this area, at Bryn, Craig Pwllfa, Craig y Fan, Craig y Fan-ddu, Yr Allt, Waun-rydd and Tor y foel, that bound the southern part of community. Here the valley of the river Caerfanell and the Talybont Reservoir provide the main focus for habitation, with the small, unclassified settlement of Aber to the north of the reservoir. In its extreme southwest, this community falls to the upper reaches of the river Taf Fechan, where the community boundary follows a centre line through Pontsticill Reservoir on the northern outskirts of the County Borough of Merthyr Tydfil. The 2nd tier settlement of Pontsticill is partitioned by the community-county boundary, with some ten electors living in the community of Talybont-on-Usk. This settlement is some nine miles by narrow, unclassified county road from Talybont; it is less than three miles from the centre of Merthyr Tydfil. 2. The whole of this community lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park.

    ADRODDIAD BLYNYDDOL / ANNUAL REPORT 1950-51 HENRY BONSALL 1951001 Ffynhonnell / Source The late Henry Bonsall, Llanbadarnfawr. Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1950-51 Disgrifiad / Description A manuscript music book, containing Welsh airs, written by Miss Bonsall, 1807; naturalists' calendars kept at Glan Rheidol, 1841, 1866-70; and diaries and notebooks of Henry Bonsall, 1882-1947. An interesting miscellaneous collection of over 100 printed books, mostly of the nineteenth century and in English, but containing eleven books in other languages (Dept of Printed Books). Five of the books in the collection are of eighteenth century date and eight are seventeenth century books. The last-mentioned include Latin editions of works by Cicero (1606), Erasmus (1613), and Ovid (1626), an English political tract of the year of the Restoration (1660), the 1686 edition of Jeremy Taylor's Holy Living, and a travel book of 1797. The two others are of considerable local interest, namely, Shiers's Mine Adventure in Wales (1700) and a volume of verse entitled Poetical Piety or Poetry made Pious, by William Williams (London, 1677). The latter is dedicated to 'Sir Thomas Pryse of Go-gerthan. .', and the author describes himself in the dedicatory letter as 'a native both of your Neighbourhood and County'. There is a pencil note on the fly-leaf in the hand of the testator stating that the copy came from the 'Wallog Library sold by Col. G. G. Williams'. The eighteenth century books include a copy of the 1713 edition of Thoughts on Religion by W. Beveridge, bishop of St Asaph. The bulk of the collection is of nineteenth century date and the books are highly miscellaneous.
