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. After regional government shifts it entered into the Blaenau Gwent County Borough administrative region. A substantial amount of the landscape neighbours the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Blaenavon World Heritage Site. Traditionally a significant coal mining centre, the Abertillery region has experienced considerable modification in recent years. The local landscape has long been appreciated for its varied natural appeal. Located on the A467, the town is roughly 15 miles (22 km) north of the M4 and 5 miles (8 km) south of the A465 'Heads of the Valleys' trunk road. It is approximately 25 miles by road from Cardiff and 47 miles from Bristol. As per the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11601 people. Data gathered by The Welsh Language Board (Bwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg) in 2001 reveal that 9.9% of Abertillery spoke Welsh, which dropped by 2.7 percent in 2011 to 7.2%. Abertillery's traditional-style town centre mostly expanded in the late 19th century and showcases some attractive Victorian architecture. Stretched over four primary streets, the town has two department outlets and a covered Victorian arcade attaching two of the primary shopping locations. These are all featured in a Blaenau Gwent Borough Council remodelling and modernisation project. By 2014, completed work included a number of streets, public areas and the town's Metropole Theatre. This RICS acclaimed building delivers cutting-edge production, exhibition, conference and conference facilities in addition to housing Abertillery Museum.
