Ferndale

Ferndale is a town located in the Rhondda Valley in the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Neighbouring towns are Blaenllechau, Maerdy and also Tylorstown. Ferndale was industrialised in the mid-19th century. The initial coal mine shaft was sunk in 1857 and was the first area to be intensively industrialised in the Rhondda Valley. In Welsh, Ferndale is referred to as Glynrhedynog, the name of one of the old farms on which the community is developed. In its infancy Glynrhedynog was also referred to as Trerhondda after the name of the initial big chapel to be integrated in the community. The naming of negotiations after chapels prevailed in Wales at the time, as is shown in town names such as Bethesda, Beulah as well as Horeb, however neither Glynrhedynog nor Trerhondda was destined to be used for long. Glynrhedynog is made from the words "glyn" meaning valley and "rhedynog" meaning ferny, and so coal from the Glynrhedynog pits was marketed as Ferndale coal, a much easier name for English customers to absorb. The Ferndale pits are what attracted the labor force and also their households to the location, as well as by the 1880s "Ferndale" was well developed as a thriving community. With the phasing in of bilingual roadway signs from the late 1980s onwards, the name Glynrhedynog progressively came back as well as is now the formally assigned Welsh language name for Ferndale. The Welsh language is on the boost in Ferndale after the town took on the English language throughout the Industrial change. A Welsh language institution is located near the park and also the school is called after the park's lake, 'Llyn-y-Forwyn.' (The Maiden's Lake).
