Mountain Ash, Rhondda Cynon Taf
Mountain Ash (Welsh: Aberpennar) is a town and community in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales, situated in the Cynon Valley. Mountain Ash lies within the historic county boundaries of Glamorgan.
As a community, Mountain Ash also contains the outlying villages of Cwmpennar, Cefnpennar, Darranlas, Perthcelyn, Glenboi and Newtown.
History
Mountain Ash is a mainly English speaking community, thanks to the fast industrial exploitation of the South Wales Coalfield.
Unlike other villages in the South Wales Valleys, it remained quiet, being only disturbed in 1818 by the construction of the Aberdare Canal. It became disused in the early 19th century, filled in to form the New Cardiff Road in 1933.[1]
The population of the village was 1,614 in 1841, rising to 11,463 in 1871 with the opening of local collieries. The 1851 census shows the construction of Duffryn Street and Navigation Street. By 1859 there were 12 public houses, some of the earliest being the Bruce Arms, the Junction Inn and the New Inn. By 1920, Kelly's Directory lists over 200 businesses within the village.[1]
The coal industry had started to decline post World War 1, but after World War 2 factory industries were introduced to offset the serious fall in local mining employment. By the end of the 20th century the last coal mines had closed, and many of the town’s factories had ceased operation as well. New light industries and service activities only partly mitigated the resulting economic hardship.
Transport
The town is served by Mountain Ash railway station on the Aberdare branch of the Merthyr Line of the Arriva Trains Wales rail network. Further to Mountain Ash train station, the village of Fernhill is also served by the Merthyr Line.
Bus services are operated by Bebb (a company owned by Veolia) and Glamorgan Bus Services.
Education
Mountain Ash is served by Mountain Ash Comprehensive School for students aged 11-18. The comprehensive school is situated on the site of the former estate of Lord Aberdare, the main house, Dyffryn House, was still used by the school until its demolition in the 1980s. Opposite the site of the secondary school is the site for the Community hospital that aims to serve the Cynon Valley which is currently under construction.
Local primary schools include Caegarw, Glenboi, Darranlas, Miskin, Penguelan and Penrhiwceiber Primary Schools.
