Ferndale

Ferndale is a small town located in the Rhondda Valley in the county district of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Neighbouring towns are Blaenllechau, Maerdy and also Tylorstown. Ferndale was industrialised in the mid-19th century. The first coal mine shaft was sunk in 1857 and was the first neighborhood 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 constructed. In its infancy Glynrhedynog was additionally referred to as Trerhondda after the name of the first huge chapel to be integrated in the town. The naming of settlements after churches was widespread in Wales at the time, as is received town names such as Bethesda, Beulah and also Horeb, however neither Glynrhedynog nor Trerhondda was destined to be utilized for long. Glynrhedynog is made from words "glyn" indicating valley and "rhedynog" meaning ferny, therefore coal from the Glynrhedynog pits was marketed as Ferndale coal, a much easier name for English buyers to assimilate. The Ferndale pits are what attracted the workforce and their families to the location, as well as by the 1880s "Ferndale" was well established as a growing community. With the phasing in of multilingual roadway indications from the late 1980s onwards, the name Glynrhedynog gradually came back and is now the officially designated Welsh language name for Ferndale. The Welsh language is on the boost in Ferndale after the village took on the English language during the Industrial revolution. A Welsh language school is located near the park and the institution is called after the park's lake, 'Llyn-y-Forwyn.' (The Maiden's Lake).
