The unique town of Pontypridd has seen many changes over the years and this second edition provides a nostalgic picture of how the town once appeared to those who lived and worked there in former times.
During the twilight years of Victoria's reign Pontypridd's status as an urban area was strengthened. Its growth was due to its proximity to the Glamorganshire Canal and the coming of the Taff Vale Railway linking the docklands to the rapidly expanding Welsh coal field in the Rhondda. These two factors provided the ideal setting for major industrialisation of the area and the foundations for Pontypridd to develop into a major market town which blossomed at the very heart of industrial Wales.
Illustrated with over 200 fascinating old photographs of Pontypridd, this book takes the reader on a journey back in time to discover why this frontier town was born out of the industrialisation of its surrounding valleys and transformed from a sleepy agricultural region into one of the largest in Wales.
