Pontypridd

Pontypridd deserves particular mention for the famous bridge which gives it its name.

In 1853 he went into business, first at Pontypridd and then at Merthyr, but next year made his way to Liverpool.

Upon that day the ‘Druids and bards’ at Pontypridd held the usual feast of the summer solstice in the face of the sun.

The custom of lighting bonfires survives in some of the villages, and at Pontypridd there are ceremonies of a solemn sort.

An Eisteddfod, anywhere, is a very interesting event, but one at Pontypridd seems to be of all others the most interesting.
