However, a visiting newspaper reporter did his best to paint a picture. “Taking our places on some temporary seats, the horses started at a brisk walk along the tram-line, and soon we were entering the tunnel. Generally the tunnel was narrow and one had to exercise care in passing one’s arms within the strict limits of the little track, or the jagged points which stuck out here and there would give one a sharp and unpleasant reminder, while an occasional cry of “heads” from our guide warned us of the necessity of sometimes disposing this part of the body somewhat suddenly BRIDGES & TUNNELS BRIDGES between our knees. At more than one place however we saw signs of operations already on foot for the purpose of ‘opening out’. We were informed however there is no immediate necessity for this, the great object being to bore the tunnel, and in a very short time a hundred or so gangs of men can quickly enlarge it to the required size for the passage of trains.” “The side and the roof generally presented a most substantial appearance, the roof particularly being for quite half the distance a level mass of rock. As one passed along, a hissing sound indicated the passing of the air which kept the tunnel even three-quarters of a mile in quite nice and cool. At last the waggons came to a sudden stop and a short walk over the boots in mud took us to a solid wall of rock, which effectually blocked our progress. Not so that of the excavators. Against this solid wall were six men hammering with pickaxe and crowbar, as though their lives depended on it, PHOTOS: STEPHEN MACKEY and though their progress will be slow, they will eventually clear a passage through which it is hoped that millions of passengers and countless tons of coal will pass from the Rhondda to the port at the mouth of the Tawe.” Work on the R&SBR was split into three contracts, No.3 being Tick tock awarded to William Jones of Neath.

    Community Profile – Abergwynfi and Blaengwynfi Version 6 – will be updated and reviewed next on 29.05.20 The villages of Abergwynfi and Blaengwynfi are increasingly being regarded as one community, Gwynfi. They form the rural ward of Blaengwynfi. They lie approximately 11 miles from both the County towns of Port Talbot and Neath. The latest population figures are 1,338 inhabitants, this is an 11% drop since 2011 Census and Gwynfi have seen the biggest population drop of all villages in the Afan Valley. Gwynfi (like Glyncorrwg) has a younger population that average with high numbers of under 16 (21%). 10.2% of people have qualifications of Level 4 or above, as compared to NPT (20.8%) and Wales (29.7%). The twin villages lay in the North east of the Afan Valley, within forested hills, with Aerial view looking up the Bwlch Aerial view of Gwynfi looking down the some farmland. These former mining villages have limited facilities, and very poor from Gwynfi valley transport links. There are several small businesses, including a small factory that recycles waste products into industrial briquettes. Most villagers must look beyond the village for work, difficult without personal transport (only 40% have cars). There is a football team, a bowls team, and a very successful boxing club, which is one of a number of clubs and activities that run out of the local community run community centre. An unusual feature of the village is the former rail tunnel to the Rhondda Valley, the third longest in Wales, which is in the process of been restored as a cycle path.

Treherbert is the upper most community of the Rhondda Fawr and encompasses the districts of Blaencwm, Blaenrhondda, Tynewydd and Pen-yr-englyn. Blaen-y-Cwm and Blaenrhondda are at the head the Rhondda Fawr valley. With Treherbert, Tynewydd, Blaencwm, Blaenrhondda and Pen- yr-englyn it is part of a community of Treherbert.

Pen Pych Mountain The entire upper Rhondda has beautiful outdoor green spaces and although each village is its own community as they mostly run straight into each other communities are well linked. Treherbert has an active busy high street. The very close proximity of towns and village in the Rhondda Fawr mean that people from Treherbert to Blaencwm drive through / visit Treorchy which is the main hub of the Upper Rhondda on almost a daily basis.
