Tylorstown ((ウェールズ語:Pendyrus)) is a village and community located in the Rhondda valley, in the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. It was founded by Alfred Tylor who set up an early coal mining operation in the location in the mid-19th century. The last working mine in the village closed in the 1960s setting off a long period of economic decline which worsened following the 1984–85 national miners' strike which resulted in pits in nearby locations such as Maerdy closing. The local passenger train line closed in the 1960s following the Beeching Axe which also limited the prospects of easy commuting to Cardiff. It is neighboured by the villages of Blaenllechau, Ferndale, Penrhys, Pontygwaith and Stanleytown. ==Social and economic standing== The Tylorstown electoral ward is a typical small ex-mining village in the Rhondda Fach valley. The Porth relief road terminates at neighbouring Pontygwaith due to the topography of the Rhondda Fach, which is a narrow valley with steep sides and limited flat land on the valley floor. The construction of the Porth relief road started off with an estimate of £33m but by 2009, the project had cost £97.6m being a major civil-engineering project many years in the planning and two and a half years in the execution. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tylorstown」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
