The National Lottery Heritage Fund, along with Cadw and the Welsh Government launched the 15 Minute Heritage Fund to attempt to get to people to connect with the heritage on their doorsteps.
Tonyrefail & District Community Council was fortunate to receive funding for the design and installation of information boards to be placed around the community to encourage people to engage further with the heritage within their local area.
One of the boards is shown below, which tells the story of Coedely Colliery which has been reclaimed and is now being turned into an industrial estate of sorts. This board will ensure that the story of the Colliery is told and not forgotten.
These boards have been made possible thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Cadw and the Welsh Government.
Another round of funding has opened, and should you be a local group or organisation with an interest in doing something similar you can find all the information you need here.
