Treherbert – did you know?

Treherbert is a village at the head of the Rhondda Fawr valley in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales, with a population of 5,727.
Interestingly, the name commemorates the Herbert Earls of Pembroke, ancestors of the Marquess of Bute who developed the first coal pits in the Rhondda.
In 1845 the Marquess of Bute bought a farm for £11,000 to sink the first steam coal pit, the Bute Merthyr Colliery, which struck coal in 1853.
Notably, the first 38 wagons of coal from Treherbert travelled to Cardiff Docks on 21 December 1855 via the newly extended Taff Vale Railway.
The A4061 Rhigos Mountain Road was built as a relief project for unemployed miners and opened in November 1929.
What’s more, Treherbert RFC was founded by local colliers in 1879 and remains a member of the Welsh Rugby Union.
Treherbert also produced one of Wales’ first rugby league teams, playing between 1908 and 1910.
Finally, Treherbert railway station is the last stop on the Rhondda Line from Cardiff, with the line once continuing through a tunnel to the Afan Valley.
Interestingly, Treherbert Band has been performing since around 1897, originally formed as a drum and fife band.
Notably, Welsh professional darts player Wayne Warren, the 2020 BDO World Champion, comes from Treherbert.
