Abertillery
Abertillery, which means 'Mouth of the River Tyleri', is the biggest town in the Ebbw Fach valley in what was the historic county of Monmouthshire, South Wales. Right after local government reorganisation it became part of the Blaenau Gwent County Borough administrative area. Much of the landscape surrounds the Brecon Beacons National Park plus the Blaenavon World Heritage Site.
Historically a significant coal mining centre, the Abertillery location has undergone considerable transformation in recent decades. The local landscape has long been recognised for its varied natural beauty. Positioned around the A467, the town is approximately 15 miles (22 km) north of the M4 and five 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 includes a permanent population of around 11601 people.
Statistics collected by The Welsh Language Board (Bwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg) in 2001 say that 1146 (9.9 per cent) of Abertillery spoke Welsh, which decreased by 2.7 % in 2011 to 7.2 per cent. Abertillery's traditional-style town centre was mainly developed in the late 19th century and still displays some striking Victorian architecture.
Spreading over more than four main streets, the town had two department stores and a covered Victorian arcade linking two of the major shopping locations. These are all incorporated in a Blaenau Gwent Borough Council remodelling and modernisation project. By 2014, completed projects included several streets, public areas and the town's Metropole Theatre. This RICS award-winning building offers state of the art production, exhibition, conference and meeting facilities as well as housing the Abertillery Museum.
