Talygarn, near Pontyclun, was the home of the Clark Family from 1865.

In 1922, the family sold the house to the South Wales Miners’ Welfare Fund, and it opened as a convalescent home for miners the following year.

Ym 1922, gwerthwyd y tŷ gan y teulu i Gronfa Les Glowyr De Cymru, ac agorodd fel cartref ymadfer i lowyr y flwyddyn ganlynol.

We always use school archives when we welcome school groups on visits.

Entries from the school log books – like this one for Windsor Clive School – tell us so much about life in school, and in the surrounding community, in the past.

Extract from school log book: 300 on books now. Only 5 leavers in August. 110-120 boys to be transferred from Infants School. If the new houses now nearing completion near the school are occupied by that time it will be difficult to find accommodation for the children. I shall be one or two classrooms short.

Today is School Archives Day

This week we’ve welcomed classes from Ysgol Coed-y-Gof and Hywel Dda Primary to the Archives. They visited to discover more about the development of the housing and community at Ely and Caerau.

Thank you for visiting.

Rydym bob tro’n defnyddion archifau ysgol wrth groesawi grwpiau ysgol ar ymweliadau.

Mae nodiadau o’r llyfrau log ysgol - fel yr un uchod ar gyfer Ysgol Windsor Clive - yn adrodd gymaint am fywyd yn yr ysgol, a’r gymuned leol, yn y gorffennol.

This photo shows two children with their pet dog

Crufts begins today in Birmingham. This photo shows two children with their pet dog. It’s one of a number in the collection featuring children and families with their pets. The photos were taken in Maesteg during the early part of the 20th century but other than that we know very little about them.
