New Tredegar
New Tredegar is a former mining town as well as community in the Rhymney Valley, Caerphilly county district, Wales, within the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire. New Tredegar is currently house to 'The Winding House', a county museum which opened in 2008. It is managed by CCBC Museums service and the Friends of the Winding House area team. The location is abundant in the mining heritage of the South Wales mining sector. The location is sustained by 2 primary schools; White Rose Primary school and Phillipstown Primary school. The area also includes a variety of religious structures including; Saint Dingat's Church as well as the Presbyterian Church of Wales. Along with various other parts of Rhymney, New Tredegar was one of the last areas within Monmouthshire to maintain the Welsh Language, with native speakers making use of the language in shops as well as banks right into the 1970s. Welsh-only monuments in the regional cemetery testify to the stamina of the language in your area in the first quarter of the 20th century.
