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. Following local government reorganisation it entered into the Blaenau Gwent County Borough administrative area. Much of the landscape surrounds the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Blaenavon World Heritage Site. Traditionally a major coal mining centre, the Abertillery region has gone through substantial transformation in recent years. The local landscape has long been known for its different natural beauty. Located on the A467, the town is about 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 about 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. Information collected by The Welsh Language Board (Bwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg) in 2001 suggest that 9.9% of Abertillery spoke Welsh, which decreased by 2.7 percent in 2011 to 7.2 percent. Abertillery's traditional-style town centre mainly expanded in the late 19th century and features some eye-catching Victorian architecture. Expanding over four primary streets, the town has 2 department shops and a covered Victorian arcade attaching 2 of the primary shopping locations. These are all incorporated in a Blaenau Gwent Borough Council renovation and modernisation venture. By 2014, finished projects included numerous streets, public areas and the town's Metropole Theatre. This RICS award-winning building provides state of the art production, exhibition, conference and conference facilities in addition to housing Abertillery Museum.
