Pontypridd History Tour takes the reader on an exciting journey through this iconic market town, which sits at the gateway to three historic valleys of the South Wales coalfield. From pastoral, drovers' river-crossing into a town that embodied a thriving conduit to capitalist mineral prospecting on a prodigious scale, this guides delves into the many changes that have made Pontypridd what it is today. Pontypridd encapsulates all the excesses of the saga of the South Wales' coal and railway bonanza. It survives into the twenty-first century - to outlast the pits that gave it life and reared it.
