Abertillery
Abertillery, which translates as 'mouth of the River Tyleri', is the biggest town of the Ebbw Fach valley in what used to be the historic county of Monmouthshire, South Wales. As a result of local government reorganisation it came to be a part of the Blaenau Gwent County Borough administrative region. A lot of the landscape borders the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Blaenavon World Heritage Site. In the past an important coal mining centre, the Abertillery area has undergone considerable transformation in recent decades. The local landscape has long been famous for its diverse natural appeal. Located on the A467, the town is approximately 15 miles (22 kilometres) north of the M4 and 5 miles (8 km) south of the A465 'Heads of the Valleys' trunk road. It is roughly 25 miles by road from Cardiff and 47 miles from Bristol. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11601 people. Data collected by The Welsh Language Board (Bwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg) in 2001 reveal that 9.9 percent of Abertillery spoke Welsh, which dropped by 2.7 percent in 2011 to 7.2 percent. Abertillery's traditional-style town centre mainly developed in the late 19th century and includes some impressive Victorian architecture. Stretched over four major streets, the town has two department stores as well as covered Victorian arcade linking two of the main shopping locations. These are all incorporated in a Blaenau Gwent Borough Council remodelling and modernisation venture. By 2014, completed work included a number of streets, public areas and the town's Metropole Theatre. This RICS prize-winning structure provides cutting-edge production, exhibition, conference and conference facilities as well as housing Abertillery Museum.
