Great to be back amongst the communities of the Rhondda where we are working with Rhondda Heritage Park / RCT along with various welfare halls and other community centres to capture memories from the past.

We’ve started at Cynon Valley Museum, Trehafod Village Hall and Tylorstown Wellfare Hall in the last couple of weeks and met some lovely ladies who have shared their memories and personal experiences of the ’84 miners strike in the Rhondda area.

Project funded by the Federation of Welsh Museums and Arts Galleries of Wales. Big thank you!
