Maesteg
Maesteg is a town and community in the ceremonial county of Mid Gamorgan and in Bridgend County Borough, Wales. It is found at the north end of the Llynfi Valley, near to the border with Neath Port Talbot. Like the rest of Wales, the English and Welsh languages comprise the town's official languages. Though a significant proportion of residents are native English speakers, there is a small part of the community that speak Welsh. Of the 20612 inhabitants recorded in the 2011 Census, 11 percent of the town's population speak Welsh. There are major differences between age groups, with 27.9 percent of 3 to 15 year olds speaking Welsh, 8.6 percent of 16 to 64 year olds, and the lowest proportion being among the over 65s at 5.3 percent. The opening of ironworks in the 1820s and 1830s stimulated the development of the town. Between 1890 and 1925, Maesteg held an international status as a supplier of Admiralty-grade steam coal, high quality cooking coal and the best house coal in South Wales. By the early 1920s, 7000 miners worked in the town. With the decline of the coal industry and the closure of the last pit in 1985, the town is now characterised as being more residential and domestic in nature, largely for the Port Talbot, Bridgend and Cardiff journey to work areas. Founded in 1881, Maesteg Market continues to be a well-attended market, which is positioned on the ground floor of Maesteg Town Hall and a vast array of products are offered. The town is additionally acknowledged for its strong music and singing custom, being home to numerous choirs and bands. For all of your house upgrades, make sure to make use of reputable contractors in Maesteg to make certain of quality.
