Bargoed
Bargoed is a town inside the Rhymney Valley, one of the South Wales Valleys. It is positioned along the Rhymney River in the county borough of Caerphilly, and it occupies the historic border of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire, with Bargoed initially lying within the old county of Glamorganshire whereas Aberbargoed was inside the old county of Monmouthshire. It's unsurprising, because of this, that the English meaning of the town's name is 'border'. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a population of about 11900. Historically a market town, Bargoed developed into a prominent town soon after the establishment of a colliery in 1903. By 1921, Bargoed had a resident population of about 17,901; this has been gradually declining ever since that time, as the overall demand for Welsh coal continued to fall. The colliery, which was the subject of a painting by L. S. Lowry, closed down in the 1980s, and its site has been transformed a country park. The town has recently been undergoing a significant redevelopment scheme, which incorporated 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 parts of the redevelopment, which consists of a council services helpdesk, a computer suite, a coffee lounge, plus a compact chapel. The pipe organ is still located in its original prominent position looking over the main ground floor area, while the Erstwhile chapel gallery possesses a varied collection of reference and other books. For all your house improvements, be sure that you employ trusted experts in Bargoed to make sure that you get the top quality service.
