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 first coal mine shaft was sunk in 1857 as well as was the first area to be intensively industrialised in the Rhondda Valley. In Welsh, Ferndale is referred to as Glynrhedynog, the name of among the old farms on which the community is built. In its infancy Glynrhedynog was also called Trerhondda after the name of the initial huge chapel to be built in the town. 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, yet neither Glynrhedynog nor Trerhondda was predestined to be made use of for long. Glynrhedynog is made from words "glyn" meaning valley and "rhedynog" meaning 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 attracted the labor force and also their families to the area, and by the 1880s "Ferndale" was well established as a growing community. With the phasing in of multilingual roadway signs from the late 1980s onwards, the name Glynrhedynog slowly re-emerged as well as is now the officially designated Welsh language name for Ferndale. The Welsh language gets on the rise in Ferndale after the village adopted the English language throughout the Industrial change. A Welsh language college is positioned near the park and the institution is called after the park's lake, 'Llyn-y-Forwyn.' (The Maiden's Lake).
