Treherbert history
There is evidence of settlements in the Rhondda dating back to Celtic times. In 1841 there were only 218 people residing in the ‘Middle hamlet of Treherbert’, which had risen to 1,203 by 1861. In August 1845, the trustees of the Marquess of Bute bought the Cwmsaerbren farm from William Davies for a fee of £11,000. A trial pit was sunk from 1850, but progress was slow because all equipment was carried over rough tracks by horse and cart from the Taff Vale Railway’s then terminus at Dinas.
