Depicted on the mural nearest the camera are Evan James and his son James James. Evan James lived where he worked as a weaver, nearby in Mill Street. In 1856 he wrote the words, and James the music, for "Glan Rhondda". It was later renamed Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, and gained the status of the Welsh National Anthem within three decades. It was also adapted and adopted as the Breton National Anthem in 1902.
