Ferndale
Ferndale is a small town situated in the Rhondda Valley in the region borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Neighbouring towns are Blaenllechau, Maerdy as well as Tylorstown. Ferndale was industrialised in the mid-19th century. The initial coal mine shaft was sunk in 1857 and also was the initial community 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 developed. In its infancy Glynrhedynog was also referred to as Trerhondda after the name of the initial large chapel to be built in the community. The identifying of negotiations after churches was widespread in Wales at the time, as is displayed in village names such as Bethesda, Beulah as well as Horeb, but neither Glynrhedynog nor Trerhondda was destined to be used for long. Glynrhedynog is made from the words "glyn" meaning valley and also "rhedynog" indicating ferny, therefore coal from the Glynrhedynog pits was marketed as Ferndale coal, a a lot easier name for English buyers to absorb. The Ferndale pits are what attracted the labor force and their families to the area, and by the 1880s "Ferndale" was well established as a successful town. With the phasing in of bilingual road indicators from the late 1980s onwards, the name Glynrhedynog progressively re-emerged and also is now the formally marked Welsh language name for Ferndale. The Welsh language gets on the rise in Ferndale after the town embraced the English language throughout the Industrial change. A Welsh language college is situated near the park and also the institution is called after the park's lake, 'Llyn-y-Forwyn.' (The Maiden's Lake).
