  • West Monmouthshire & Adjacent Uplands
    The Uplands Initiative West Monmouthshire and adjacent uplands An Archaeological Survey Richard Hayman and Wendy Horton for RCAHM Wales October 2013 Richard Hayman & Wendy Horton Archaeological & Historic Buildings Consultants Mount Pleasant, Harmer Hill, Shrewsbury SY4 3EA 01939 291974 Crynodeb Cafodd arolwg archaeolegol Gorllewin Sir Fynwy a’r Ucheldir Cyfagos ei gynnal yn ystod 2013. Mae’n cynnwys wyth bloc penodol, o dir comin yn bennaf, rhwng cymoedd Bargod Taf, Rhymni, Sirhywi ac Ebwy a chyfanswm o ryw 13 cilometr sgwâr o ran arwynebedd. Mae’r tir yn gorwedd rhwng cyfuchliniau 300 metr a 500 metr yn bennaf ac mae’n cynnwys gweundiroedd glaswellt a grug agored, ac ochrau cymoedd serth o dan redyn a choed. Cafodd yr arolwg ei gynnal drwy gerdded trawsluniau rheolaidd o 30 metr, a’r nod oedd dod o hyd i safleoedd o bob cyfnod. Cafodd cyfanswm o 318 o safleoedd ei gofnodi, 44 ohonyn nhw wedi’u cofnodi o’r blaen yn y Cofnod Henebion Cenedlaethol. Ceir carneddi o’r Oes Efydd ar yr esgeiriau, ond cydran fach yn unig o’r archaeoleg yw’r rhain. Gwelir dulliau rheoli tir uchel y cyfnod canoloesol ar ffurf argloddiau sylweddol, a’r cynharaf o’r rhain yw’r clawdd canoloesol cynnar sy’n croesi’r esgair ar Gefn Man-moel. At ei gilydd, mae’r cloddiau eraill yn dilyn esgeiriau’r bryniau ac mae’n debyg eu bod yn gysylltiedig â rheoli da byw. Cafwyd tystiolaeth o hen aneddiadau mewn mannau nad ydyn nhw’n dir comin mwyach, er enghraifft y cytiau hir ar Fynydd Bedwellte ac uwchben Cwm yng nghwm Ebwy sydd wedi’u gosod ar derasau uwchben ochrau serth y cwm.

Many of those tracing their ancestors in Glamorgan will therefore sooner or later come across family members who were coal miners or colliery surface workers.

    STRIDE OUT for 32 miles along the Rhymney Riverside Walk. The Rhymney Riverside Walk is a 32 mile linear walk which winds along the floor of the Rhymney Valley, following the river from its headwaters to the southern plains. There are many bus and train stops along the route – so it need not be walked in a single outing. The walk forms part of the Valleys Regional Park, a network of visitor facilities and accessible countryside activity routes across the Valleys. For further information on walking routes and other activities which you can enjoy, please visit www.thevalleys.co.uk . The Valleys Regional Park is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government. Rhymney Riverside Walk. The Rhymney Riverside Walk follows footpaths and cycleways, with some sections along the roadside in urban areas. The paths are mainly dry but can get wet and boggy in places after periods of wet weather – stout footwear is recommended. There are plenty of pubs and shops close to the route, but it’s advisable to take food and drink. The use of sustainable public transport is encouraged – please check times of services beforehand. The directions in this document assume you are walking the route from north to south. Mobile phone coverage is generally good but reception can be poor in valley bottoms. Take your camera and binoculars and please follow the countryside code as you, ‘leave nothing but footprints; take nothing but memories.’ Ordnance Survey Explorer maps 151 and 166 cover the route. Maps in this document are reproduced from the Ordnance Survey mapping with the permission of the Controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.

  • A Postcolonial View of Opencast Coal Mining in the South Wales Valleys
    CRITICAL PLANNING 2017 31 NOT EVER AGAIN: A POSTCOLONIAL VIEW OF OPENCAST COAL MINING IN THE SOUTH WALES VALLEYS Kelvin Mason Independent Researcher Paul Milbourne Cardiff University Coal and Injustice in the South Wales Valleys UK Dependence on Coal Despite its commitments to carbon reduction, in 2012 the United Kingdom (UK) depended on coal for some 30% of electricity production; that per- centage rose to more than 40% in periods of peak demand in winter (DECC, 2012). European Consumer Centre statistics for 2015 reveal that coal continued to provide more than 20% of UK electricity. In terms of the greenhouse effect, coal is the worst choice of fuel, producing around 910 g of carbon dioxide (CO2) per kilowatt hour, compared with 500 g for gas and no emissions for nuclear energy and renewables (EIA, 2013, figures for steam-electric generation). Nevertheless, the Westminster Parliament’s Welsh Affairs Committee has reported a new industry enthusiasm for coal, noting the substantial reserves in South Wales, a significant proportion of which are suitable for opencast mining (Select Committee on Welsh Affairs, 2007). 32 Mason and Milbourne Not Ever Again Opencast Coal Mining in the South Wales Valleys Although world coal prices have fallen since they peaked in 2007 and 2008, the first decade of this century saw a fresh surge in the authorisation of new opencast coal mines (strip mines) in the UK, most controversially Ffos-y-Frân near Merthyr Tydfil in Wales (Monbiot, 2007). Ffos-y-Frân is expected to have produced nearly 11 million tonnes of coal between 2007 and 2025.
