There were damaging floods from the River Rhondda in Trehafod on several occasions in the twentieth century. The most serious and widespread flood was in 1960, when one man died. In the late 1990s, a flood defence wall was built along the north bank of the Rhondda in Trehafod. This section is along Lewis Street, viewed from the corner of Bethesda Street. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2397500 to a view of the wall in the opposite direction.
