November 2020 Lorry re-route is good news for community Welsh Deputy Minister and Chief Whip Jane Hutt, and Vale of Glamorgan MP Alun Cairns, have welcomed our recent move to re-route some of our Tarmac lorries on their journey to and from Ewenny and Bridgend. on The upgrade of a section of the B4270 means that Tarmac lorries (like the one seen here) and contractor hauliers can now use this new route to reach the A48, avoiding the B4265 which runs through Wick and St Brides Major. Aberthaw in your local community Andy Watkins (left) and Hesh Ibsule (right) Plant Manager Stuart Escott says: “We are always (Picture taken prior to Covid-19 restrictions) looking for ways to reduce our impact on the surrounding communities. The road upgrade has First aider to the rescue! offered us a great opportunity to divert our lorries away from these villages, and it also provides a Hesh Ibsule, Maintenance Technician here at Aberthaw safer and more efficient route for our drivers.” Works is a true superhero! Late last year, Hesh saved the life of one of his site colleagues, Packing Plant Supervisor Andy Watkins, by performing the ‘Heimlich manoeuvre’ when he began choking. The incident could so easily have had a very different outcome had Hesh not been first aid trained. Commenting about the incident Hesh says: “I’ve never in 10 years of being a first aider had to use my training, but when Andy started to choke during lunch, I responded, remembering immediately the steps to take when a person is choking: back slaps followed by abdominal Working safely through thrusts. Luckily after five thrusts it worked. I’m proud that I was able to have helped Andy.” For advice on how to help someone who is Covid-19 challenges choking visit the St John Ambulance website: www.sja.org.uk/get-advice/first-aid-advice/choking COMPETITION As the new Plant Manager at procedures to keep our team safe, I want to take this opportunity to Aberthaw Works, I am delighted to following strict public health and say thank you to everyone for their Would you like to win a Galaxy tablet? be sending this newsletter out to the Government guidance and adhering hard work during what has been an communities around our site.

Indeed, the Vale of Glamorgan has over 100 Scheduled Ancient Monuments, over 700 Listed Buildings and 38 Conservation Areas that are afforded statutory protection by legislation. However, this system of statutory recognition, by its nature, only takes account of items of exceptional significance. Often there are locally important buildings that although acknowledged not to be of ‘national’ or ‘exceptional’ importance, are considered key examples of vernacular architecture or buildings, which have an important local history. It is these buildings which are often the main contributors to local distinctiveness, but which have to date, remained un-surveyed and afforded little recognition or protection. The original County Treasures project was published by the then South Glamorgan County Council in the late 1970’s. It was conceived as a locally adopted inventory of ‘special features’ in the former County area. However, as a result of local government restructuring, the changes to local authority boundaries, as well as changes in responsibilities and funding mechanisms the survey was never completed, and as a consequence was not comprehensive in its coverage.

    Western Vale

    Community Profile – Western Vale Introduction For the purposes of the Well-being Assessment and to gain a better understanding of our communities in the Vale of Glamorgan we have divided the area in to three communities, Barry, Western Vale and Eastern Vale. These community profiles have been developed to complement the Vale of Glamorgan profile and we will continue to enhance these profiles as part of our ongoing engagement through the Public Services Board. The profile brings together a range of information about the area including population data, details of projects and assets within the community, it is not intended to be a directory of services but provides some key information about the area The purpose of this community profile is to provide information with regards to key statistics and projects in the area and to highlight the many assets within the Vale of Glamorgan, ranging from natural assets, community groups and services. It is intended that further work will be undertaken to enhance the community profiles for the Vale of Glamorgan and each of the three community areas, Barry, the Eastern Vale and the Western Vale. This will include key findings from across the assessment for the community and where possible identification of gaps and areas for improvement. Feedback on the profiles is welcome so that they can continue to be developed as an important resource for the area and evidence base for the work of the Public Services Board. 1 This community profile focuses on the Western Vale as detailed in the map below and the area is made up of the following wards: St.

    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Barry to Llantwit Major (Wales Coast Path) walk Glamorgan Heritage Coast : Cold Knap point, Porthkerry viaduct, Fontygary, Rhoose and Summerhouse points, Llantwit Major beach Length 13.5 miles (21.7km) with 1,000 ft (300m) of ascent. Can be split into 2 shorter walks. Toughness 6 / 10 Walk The section of the Wales Coast Path (WCP) starts in Barry (of Barry Island and Notes Gavin & Stacey fame), then heads west past Cold Knap Point, Porthkerry Park (with its spectacular railway viaduct), Rhoose Point (the most southerly point in Wales), Aberthaw, Summerhouse Point and Llantwit Major's beach. The walk has a mixture: headlands, sandy beaches, parkland, quiet cliff paths, dramatic cliffs, and 'stone shelf' beaches. And, its great for swimming. This is the first section of dramatic coast and sandy beaches if starting in Chepstow (or the last, if coming from the north). Travel is easy - there is a direct train service between Barry, Rhoose and Barry, crossing the Porthkerry viaduct. The walk starts at Barry Station, and heads for the old Barry Harbour, there used to be sand in front of the breakwater, but now the tidal(!) bay has silted up and looks picturesque, but uninviting. Then its out to Cold Knap Point (with 270° views), then along the Knap promenade (a pebble beach, with viaduct views!). Then its over low cliffs (nicer than shingle walking at the base), and down the "golden staircase" (local legend is that a golden coin is buried underneath them) to Porthkerry Park, with its railway viaduct The next section is a low cliff top path past former quarries to Rhoose Point, Wales most southerly point.

    To 17Th Century Settlement Sites in South Glamorgan

    The ceramic evidence for economic life and networks from 12th- to 17th century settlement sites in South Glamorgan Alice Forward PhD in Archaeology School of History, Archaeology and Religion Cardiff University December 2013 Summary Using well stratified ceramic assemblages from eight settlements across South Glamorgan this thesis places archaeology at the centre of interpretations of medieval and early post-medieval economic networks in this area. Comparative analysis and the contextualisation of the material have enabled archaeological evidence to develop new ways of understanding and interpreting the region during the 12th to the 17th centuries. Chapter 3 re-evaluates previous studies of the local ceramics, Vale Ware, and conducts further petrographic analysis on sherds from excavations at Llandaff Cathedral School, Cosmeston and Kenfig. Chapters 4 and 5 are detailed studies of the medieval and early post-medieval ceramic assemblage from Cosmeston. They discuss the contextual significance of the ceramics from the manor and its associated settlement and the changes that affected the manorial estate over 500 years. Chapter 6 focuses on assemblages from the small town, Cowbridge. This chapter develops ideas concerning the role of markets and fairs as central trading places in South Glamorgan. Chapter 7 looks at six comparative case studies: rural settlements at Barry, Sully and Rumney, the towns of Cardiff and Kenfig and the ecclesiastical centre at Llantwit Major. By comparing the assemblages from these sites to both Cosmeston and Cowbridge, i | P a g e interpretations are further developed on the role settlements had within the local and wider regional economic networks. The results emphasise the importance of the Bristol Channel to the movement of goods and people in South Glamorgan.
