New Tredegar
New Tredegar is a previous mining community and neighborhood in the Rhymney Valley, Caerphilly region borough, Wales, within the historical borders of Monmouthshire. New Tredegar is currently house to 'The Winding House', a county museum which opened up in 2008. It is managed by CCBC Museums service as well as the Friends of the Winding House area group. The location is abundant in the mining heritage of the South Wales mining industry. The area is supported by two primary schools; White Rose Primary school as well as Phillipstown Primary school. The area also has a variety of spiritual structures including; Saint Dingat's Church as well as the Presbyterian Church of Wales. In addition to other parts of Rhymney, New Tredegar was just one of the last areas within Monmouthshire to retain the Welsh Language, with indigenous audio speakers making use of the language in stores and banks right into the 1970s. Welsh-only monoliths in the local burial ground bear witness the toughness of the language in your area in the very first quarter of the 20th century.
