Richard Griffiths (industrialist) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Richard Griffiths (industrialist) Dr. Richard Griffiths (1756–1826) was a Welsh industrial pioneer. Griffiths is notable for building the first recognised transport links into the Rhondda Valley paving the way for future coal exploration into one of the world's richest coal fields. ==Personal history== Griffiths was a member of the Gellifendigaid family of Llanwynno; he was the third child, and second son to William Griffiths and Elizabeth (Davies). He was christened on 13 January 1756, and was brought up in a very strong Methodist family.〔Lloyd (1958), pg 307.〕 Griffiths practised medicine in Cardiff〔Evans (1959), pg 40.〕 but it was through his family connections that he began prospecting in mineral rights for which he became best known. Griffiths is described as a 'dynamic and colourful personality',〔Evans (1959), pg 39.〕 and a practical joker, even arranging a comical funeral for himself.〔 He died in 1826, with his will being proven of 31 May.〔
