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 regional government shifts it came to be a part of the Blaenau Gwent County Borough administrative region. A substantial amount of the landscape borders the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Blaenavon World Heritage Site. In the past a major coal mining centre, the Abertillery region has experienced considerable transformation in recent decades. The local landscape has long been recognised for its diverse natural beauty. Located on the A467, the town is roughly 15 miles (22 kilometres) north of the M4 and 5 miles (8 kilometres) 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. Information collected by The Welsh Language Board (Bwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg) in 2001 show that 9.9 percent of Abertillery spoke Welsh, which decreased by 2.7% in 2011 to 7.2%. Abertillery's traditional-style town centre mostly expanded in the late 19th century and showcases some attractive Victorian architecture. Spreading over four major streets, the town has 2 department shops as well as covered Victorian arcade linking two of the main shopping locations. These are all featured in a Blaenau Gwent Borough Council remodelling and modernisation venture. By 2014, finished work included a number of streets, public areas and the town's Metropole Theatre. This RICS award-winning building offers state of the art production, exhibition, conference and conference facilities along with housing Abertillery Museum.
