TREHERBERT is a thriving and populous village, 11 miles from Pontypridd, its post town, union and county court district, in the parish of Ystradyfodwg, situated at the head of the Rhondda Valley, which is watered by the river Rhondda, from which the valley derives its name; it is also a station on the Rhondda Valley line of the Taff Vale Railway Co., and in the midst of the scenery of a beautiful and mountainous character, and in a rich mineral district. The chief part of the inhabitantsderive their support from the extensive collieries in the immediate neighbourhood. It possesses a very handsome church of the Establishment, built in 1867-8 at the sole expense of the most noble the Marquess of Bute, who has also given a reading room for the accomodation of the working classes, which is well supplied with daily and weekly papers and periodicals. There is a Public Hall for the purpose of holding meetings, concerts and entertainments, recently built by a limited company formed for that purpose, of which Mr. Walter H. Morgan, Pontypridd, is secretary. There is also an engineering works and iron foundry situated here. There are chapels for the Baptists, Independents, and Calvinistic and Primitive Methodists, in which services are generally conducted in the Welsh language. There are also National and British schools. Population returned with the parish.

YSTRAD or YSTRAD-RHONDDA (the latter name adopted to distinguish it from other Ystrads in this part of the country) is also a thriving and populous village 8 miles from Pontypridd, its post town, union and county court district, and 3 miles from and in the same parish as Treherbert. The rapid increase of this neighbourhood is chiefly owing to the opening out of some very extensive and prolific coal mines, which give employment to the majority of the inhabitants; it is also a station on the Rhondda Valley line of the Taff Vale Railway Co. The parish church of St. Dyfodwg is a plain stone edifice, situated near the railway station. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the gift of the vicar of Llantrissant. There are also chapels for Baptist, Independents, and Calvinistic and Wesleyan Methodists, the services of which are generally conducted in the Welsh language

PENTRE is also a thriving and populous village, 9 miles from Pontypridd, its post town, union and county court district, and 2 miles from and in the same parish as Treherbert. It contains one long and handsome street running the whole length of the village. The shops are numerous and do a good retail trade, the village being situated in the midst of the colliery district, the population of which is rapidly increasing. Maendy Hall, a handsome mansion, is the residence of Edmund Thomas, Esq. The Rhondda Engineering Works, owned by Messrs. Llewellyn and Cubitt, and two iron foundries are situated close by. There is a Public Hall in which the county court is held. There is a National school here, and also chapels for Baptists, Independents, and Calvinistic and Wesleyan Methodists.

TREORKY is a populous village situated midway between Treherbert and Pentre, and is a station on the Taff Vale Railway, and, like most of the villages in the Rhondda Valley, consists of one long main street. The shops are numerous and well-stocked, and there are several stone quarries in the vicinity. A reading room for the working is established in the village. There are a chapel of ease and places of worship for Baptists, Independents and Methodists, and also a British school.

YSTRADYFODWG is an extensive parish in the hamlet of RHIGOS, Rhondda Valley, which is watered by the river Rhondda, and intersected by the Rhondda Valley line of the Taff Vale Railway Co. The greater portion of this parish is mountainous waste, but rich in mineral wealth, and will, no doubt, at no distant period, become one of the most prolific coal-producing districts in this part of the Principality. The pits and levels, which are now in operation in this vale, are very numerous, and are gradually increasing. The principal owners of the soil and minerals, are the Marquis of Bute and the Countess of Dunraven. The parish contains many villages and hamlets, some of which are growing rapidly into importance, namely :- Treherbert, Treorky, Llwynpia, Pen-y-Graig, Pentre, Ystrad, Pandy &c. There are also other villages or hamlets of the parish, which are given elsewhere. The area of the parish is estimated at 24,000 statute acres. Population of the entire parish in1861, 3,857, but in 1871 it had increased to 17,777 inhabitants.
