Before I go any further with this blog I would like to thank the trustees of the Old Merthyr Tydfil website who have given me permission to use the photos from that wonderful website, and for their support and encouragement.
The Old Merthyr Tydfil website truly is a fantastic resource for all things Merthyr History related, and since the passing of its sadly missed founder Alan George it is great to see the site still running thanks to the efforts of his son and a small group of volunteers, all Alan’s friends, as a tribute to the great man himself.
Old Merthyr Tydfil is THE best Merthyr Tydfil related site and I encourage everyone to visit it.
