Bargoed
Bargoed (Welsh: Bargod) is a town in the Rhymney Valley, Wales, one of the South Wales Valleys. It lies on the Rhymney River in the county borough of Caerphilly and straddles ancient boundary of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire. 'Greater Bargoed', as defined by the local authority Caerphilly County Borough Council, consists of the towns of Bargoed, Aberbargoed and the village of Gilfach. The combined population of these settlements is approximately 13,000.
The town is served by Bargoed railway station.
Toponomy
The English meaning of the town's Welsh language name, Bargoed, is border. Pronunciation of the town's name varies depending on street. There are many variations, from the standard Welsh Barr-goid and English Baa-goid to the informal Baa-Gud and Baa-Go-Ed.
The town is currently undergoing redevelopment, with a bypass recently constructed, running through the valley, with links to Bargoed town centre, Aberbargoed and Gilfach. Also, there was an agreement that was scheduled to bring major supermarket ASDA to the town, but they recently pulled out, too late, for unspecified reasons.
History
Originally a market town, Bargoed grew into a substantial town following the opening of a colliery in 1903. The colliery, which was the subject of a painting by L. S. Lowry, closed during the 1980s, and its former site is now a country park.
Today, the town centre is undergoing a huge refurbishment, although a few shops in the centre of Bargoed are still closed down and boarded up. A comprehensive programme of improvements, focused on the town's bypass road, were begun in 2000.
As part of the new redevelopment programme Young at Hearts a local based charity established 1990 helping the elderly within the community has relocated to new premises next to the Spar. In order to provide help and support to the wider community within the area it has also opened a new social cafe providing a warm and welcome enviroment in the new premises called Caffi'r Galon everyone welcome.
Education
Bargoed Grammar Technical School existed as the local grammar school before Heolddu Comprehensive School was formed. Some of the grammar school's buildings in Park Crescent were used during from the 1980s until 2002 for the valley's first Welsh language comprehensive school, Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni. The buildings were vacated when the school moved to a new purpose-built site in Fleur-de-Lys.
