Ferndale
Ferndale is a village situated in the Rhondda Valley in the area district of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Neighbouring towns 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 neighborhood to be intensively industrialised in the Rhondda Valley. In Welsh, Ferndale is known as Glynrhedynog, the name of among the old farms on which the town is developed. In its infancy Glynrhedynog was likewise referred to as Trerhondda after the name of the initial large church to be integrated in the community. The naming of negotiations after churches was widespread in Wales at the time, as is displayed in town names such as Bethesda, Beulah and Horeb, however neither Glynrhedynog nor Trerhondda was predestined to be utilized for long. Glynrhedynog is made from the words "glyn" implying valley and also "rhedynog" suggesting ferny, therefore coal from the Glynrhedynog pits was marketed as Ferndale coal, a a lot easier name for English purchasers to assimilate. The Ferndale pits are what drew the workforce and also their households to the location, and by the 1880s "Ferndale" was well established as a successful community. With the phasing in of multilingual roadway indicators from the late 1980s onwards, the name Glynrhedynog progressively re-emerged and also is currently the formally marked Welsh language name for Ferndale. The Welsh language is on the boost in Ferndale after the village embraced the English language throughout the Industrial revolution. A Welsh language school is located near the park and also the institution is named after the park's lake, 'Llyn-y-Forwyn.' (The Maiden's Lake).
