Ferndale
Ferndale is a village located in the Rhondda Valley in the region borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Neighbouring towns 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 initial community to be intensively industrialised in the Rhondda Valley. In Welsh, Ferndale is called Glynrhedynog, the name of among the old ranches on which the community is constructed. In its infancy Glynrhedynog was also referred to as Trerhondda after the name of the very first large church to be integrated in the community. The identifying of settlements after churches was widespread in Wales at the time, as is shown in town names such as Bethesda, Beulah as well as Horeb, yet neither Glynrhedynog nor Trerhondda was predestined to be made use of for long. Glynrhedynog is made from the words "glyn" suggesting valley and "rhedynog" indicating ferny, therefore coal from the Glynrhedynog pits was marketed as Ferndale coal, a a lot easier name for English buyers to assimilate. The Ferndale pits are what drew the workforce and their family members to the area, and also by the 1880s "Ferndale" was well established as a growing community. With the phasing in of bilingual road indications from the late 1980s onwards, the name Glynrhedynog progressively came back and also is currently the officially assigned Welsh language name for Ferndale. The Welsh language gets on the increase in Ferndale after the village took on the English language during the Industrial change. A Welsh language college is positioned near the park and also the institution is named after the park's lake, 'Llyn-y-Forwyn.' (The Maiden's Lake).
