What a fantastic day we had yesterday at our annual Heritage Day. With the theme for this year being ‘Places of Interest’ we were treated to inspiring talks about:

💬 Bedwellty House by Bec Howarth, Community Engagement Officer at Gwent Archives.
💬 Taliorum in Context by Will Davies, Inspector of ancient monuments for Cadw.
💬 Blaenavon Heritage Site by Dr Peter Wakelin, Freelance writer and curator.
💬 Hafod Morfa (Copperopolis) by Dr Rhys Morgan, Senior Project Officer for Black Mountains Archaeology Ltd.

A special thanks to Llanhilleth Miners Institute, who did a fantastic job hosting us, providing us with plentiful tea and coffee throughout the day, and a filling lunch! They also created a display on the history of Llanhilleth Colliery, which was beautifully displayed in the tearoom next to their recently commissioned Mural celebrating 120 years of the institute.

We were even lucky enough to be able to enjoy beautiful floral displays installed for the Abertillery in Bloom presentation.

As well as the above, we were joined by a handful of stalls including Gwent Archives, Cwm Heritage Group , Ebbw Vale Works Museum, Dragonstone Crafts and of course the BGHF shop including crafts from Hiraeth Treasures.

Thank you to everyone that attended, we hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did!

Finally, a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us, making this event and our monthly talks possible.

This event wouldn’t have been possible without the support and sponsorship of Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council. ...

What a fantastic day
