Pontypridd
Pontypridd is a community and a principal town of Rhondda
Cynon Taff and is located approximately 12 miles north of Cardiff. The population based on the census of 2001
was 29,781 although this includes the wider population in the local communities
such as Cilfynydd, Glyncoch and Rhydyfelin etc. The property to rent in Pontypridd is
generally your conventional terraced property although there are areas of local
authority properties and also new modern sites spread around the various
communities. There is a strong rental market in Pontypridd as with most past
coal/heavy industry areas in South Wales, but there is also the strong student
market centred around the University of Glamorgan which is based on the
outskirts of the Town Centre. As with most of the areas in Rhondda Cynon Taff many of the local
residents work in the capital city of Cardiff. The name Pontypridd derives from Pont-y-ty-pridd which translated
from Welsh means “bridge by the earthen house”. There were a number of wooden bridges first built to cross
the River Taff but the old stone bridge that still stands was William Edwards
third construction attempt. Although replaced by the Victoria bridge in 1857
the stone bridge at the time of its construction was the longest single-span stone
bridge in the world. The bridge is a perfect segment of a circle,
the cord of which is 43 m (140 feet).
The bridge rises 11m (35 feet) above the River Taff and has three aesthetically
pleasing holes of different dimension at either end, although the purpose of
these holes are purely weight reduction the effect is certainly a bonus.
Two of the most famous sons of Pontypridd (apart from the
obvious Tom Jones) are Evan James and James James who penned “Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau”
the Welsh National Anthem. Legend has it
that the melody written by James James came after a quiet afternoon nap next to
the River Taff. Hence its always said that it the Anthem has its main influence
from the River Taff.
