Bargoed
Bargoed is a town inside the Rhymney Valley, one of the South Wales Valleys. It is situated on the Rhymney River within the county borough of Caerphilly, and it covers the historic border of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire, with Bargoed originally lying within the old county of Glamorganshire whereas Aberbargoed was in the old county of Monmouthshire. It's unsurprising, therefore, that the English meaning of the town's name is 'border'. As per the 2011 Census, the town has a population of around 11900. Initially a market town, Bargoed grew into a successful town right after the establishment of a colliery in 1903. By 1921, Bargoed had a permanent population of roughly 17,901; it has been gradually declining since then, as the general demand for Welsh coal diminished. The colliery, which was the object of a painting by L. S. Lowry, shut down in the 1980s, and its former site has been turned into a country park. The town has in recent years been undergoing a major redevelopment program, which included a bypass running through the valley with links to the town centre. The renovation of the Grade II* listed Hanbury Street Baptist chapel into a public library is one of the most recognisable features of the redevelopment, which contains a council services helpdesk, a computer suite, a coffee lounge, plus a compact chapel. The pipe organ remains positioned in its original dominant position overlooking the main ground floor area, while the Erstwhile chapel gallery contains a large collection of reference and other books. For all your residence improvements, ensure that you utilise reputable professionals in Bargoed to ensure you get the best quality service.
