Tonypandy history
Pre-industrial
Tonypandy is also the site of one of two permanent Middle Ages fortifications found within the Rhondda Valley. Named Ynysygrug, it was a lesser motte and bailey earthwork defence consisting of a wooden tower surrounded by a small fortified courtyard. The name ‘Tonypandy’ means the meadow of the fulling mill which was established in 1838.
Industrial era
Tonypandy is the largest shopping area in the Rhondda and is now largely pedestrianised. In the mid-19th century, the mining district began its industrial transformation after the successful excavation of coal. The Riots of 1910 and 1911 were a series of violent confrontations between miners and police.
