Ferndale
Ferndale is a town located in the Rhondda Valley in the county district of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Neighbouring villages are Blaenllechau, Maerdy and Tylorstown. Ferndale was industrialised in the mid-19th century. The very first coal mine shaft was sunk in 1857 as well as was the first neighborhood to be intensively industrialised in the Rhondda Valley. In Welsh, Ferndale is called Glynrhedynog, the name of among the old farms on which the town is constructed. In its early stage Glynrhedynog was also referred to as Trerhondda after the name of the very first large church to be built in the town. The naming of negotiations after chapels prevailed in Wales at the time, as is shown in town names such as Bethesda, Beulah and Horeb, but neither Glynrhedynog nor Trerhondda was destined to be used for long. Glynrhedynog is made from words "glyn" indicating valley and also "rhedynog" suggesting ferny, and so coal from the Glynrhedynog pits was marketed as Ferndale coal, a much easier name for English purchasers to assimilate. The Ferndale pits are what drew the labor force and also their households to the area, and also by the 1880s "Ferndale" was well developed as a successful town. With the phasing in of bilingual roadway indicators from the late 1980s onwards, the name Glynrhedynog slowly re-emerged as well as is now the formally designated Welsh language name for Ferndale. The Welsh language is on the increase in Ferndale after the village took on the English language throughout the Industrial revolution. A Welsh language institution is located near the park as well as the college is called after the park's lake, 'Llyn-y-Forwyn.' (The Maiden's Lake).
