Non-Technical Summary This report results from a Historic Building Recording survey by Archaeology Wales Ltd. (AW) of Tonyrefail Comprehensive School, formerly Tonyrefail Secondary School, at Tonyrefail, Rhondda Cynon Taff, for Opus International Consultants (UK) Ltd. The work was undertaken on the advice of the curatorial division of the Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust on behalf of Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council. The proposed development of the site includes the refurbishment and supplementation of the existing Grade II Listed Building (Cadw ref.: 24282). This work has a potentially significant impact on the historic fabric of the building. This Historic Building Recording has been produced to meet a condition for discharge of Planning Application No. 16/0062/34. The Historic Building Recording assesses a full record of the elements of cultural, historic, architectural and artistic interest, by means of descriptive, drawn and photographic records, as required for a Level 3 survey. The development site is located to the southwest of Tonyrefail, a settlement that is likely to date back to at least 11th century. Tonyrefail was originally a rural hamlet, but evolved into an industrial village during the 19th century. The Grade II Listed Building, Tonyrefail Secondary School, was built during 1931-1933 by the County Architect D Pugh Jones. It is currently located on the eastern side of the school complex and is referred to as the ‘lower school’. The ‘middle’ and ‘upper’ schools are comprised of more recent buildings and are located elsewhere within the school complex. The school has a rectangular plan that is divided into two reflected squared blocks, with the girls to the north and the boys to the south. These are arranged around two courtyards, which are divided by an assembly hall, a drama studio and a gymnasium, set along a central axis. The school was built with red bricks in a neo-Georgian style and comprises two storeys, with a portico in the east. It was constructed with a slate-tile roof. An additional modern building, not listed, was built close to the south side of the main building and was formerly linked to it by a corridor. However, this is no longer in use. Tonyrefail Comprehensive School has undergone only minor alterations, with just a few features modernised and altered during its lifetime. The most structurally significant are the incorporation of fire exit metal staircases at the rear of the building, and new internal partitions in some of the larger rooms, both on ground floor and first floor levels. The school has been listed as a particularly fine example of the work undertaken by County Architect D Pugh Jones during the interwar period, with the interior being noted as having particular merit because of its attention to detail. This report summarises the architectural characteristics of the building and provides information on its archaeological and historical background. It includes an applied methodology, the results of the survey, interpretations and pertinent conclusions. 1 1 Introduction This report has been prepared by Archaeology Wales Ltd (AW) in response to a request by Opus International (UK) Ltd. (the ‘client’) to undertake a Level 3 Historic Building Recording survey of the Grade II Listed Building Tonyrefail Comprehensive School (Cadw Ref.: 24282), as a condition, prior to the planned redevelopment of the building and the site (Rhondda Cynon Taff County Borough Council, planning application number 16/0062/34). Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust – Curatorial Division (henceforth GGAT), in its capacity as archaeological advisors to the local planning authority, recommended that Level 3 Historical Building Recording is undertaken prior to any alteration work being undertaken. The work was set as a condition of the planning application decision, which states: ‘No development including structural

In January 2009, the Local Government Minister, Dr Brian Gibbons asked this Commission to review the electoral arrangements in each principal local authority in Wales. Dr Gibbons said: “Conducting regular reviews of the electoral arrangements in each Council in Wales is part of the Commission’s remit. The aim is to try and restore a fairly even spread of councillors across the local population. It is not about local government reorganisation. Since the last reviews were conducted new communities have been created in some areas and there have been shifts in population in others. This means that in some areas there is now an imbalance in the number of electors that councillors represent.

For every ‘fact’ in the game, pupils could explore: People – Historic figures and ordinary population Buildings – Public and private buildings in the Cardiff locality Transport – Roads, canals, railways, docks Links to Castell Coch – every piece of information in the game is linked to Castell Coch in some way – pupils could investigate those links and what they tell us about changes to people’s daily lives in the nineteenth century. Curriculum Links KS2 Literacy Framework – oracy across the curriculum – developing and presenting information and ideas – collaboration and discussion KS2 History – skills – chronological awareness – Pupils should be given opportunities to use timelines to sequence events.

Dragonsavers Credit Union is based in Rhondda Cynon Taff and has 3 branches (Treorchy, Tonyrefail and Pontyclun) over the years we have seen a significant decline in banking services within our communities. In the case of Tonyrefail, all of the banks (Lloyds and Barclays) and the post office have closed. The Credit Union is the only high street financial services provider in the town. In addition the nearest town, Porth has also seen all bank branches close and the post office move in to a local convenience shop. The credit union does not see itself as an alternative to other high street financial services, but as complementary in being able to offer individuals choice and freedom to access savings and loans. The credit union does not itself offer current account products, but works with a partner, Contis to provide these should they be required by members. These are not free products and Contis charge a monthly management fee to the accounts. In addition to accounts for individuals, Dragonsavers also offers Community Accounts, groups and businesses. These have been particularly popular with local business who require to deposit cash and with small community groups in receipt of grant funding who require an account for this purpose.
