In the stone wall to the left of this urinal. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2674173 The Glamorgan Archives website records that Ystradyfodwg Local Board of Health (Glamorgan) was created in 1877, from the Pontypridd Rural Sanitary District. It succeeded the Ystradyfodwg Parochial [Sanitary] Committee, a committee of the Pontypridd Rural Sanitary Authority which had been set up in 1872 to exercise within the parish of Ystradyfodwg all the powers of the Rural Sanitary Authority. The Local Board covered a slightly wider area than the Parochial [Sanitary] Committee, including not only the parish of Ystradyfodwg, but also parts of the parishes of Llanwonno and Llantrisant. It included all the towns and villages of the Rhondda Valleys: Blaenrhondda, Treherbert, Treorchy, Ystrad, Llwynypia, Tonypandy, Trealaw, Porth, Trehafod, Ynyshir, Tylorstown, Ferndale and Maerdy.
