Edward Street, Maerdy
Maerdy has a distinctly careworn air in this 1999 view. The village was once known as a centre for radical politics, one of the few places in the UK where the Communist party had significant support, earning it the sobriquet 'Little Moscow'. However, Maerdy Colliery, on whose existence prosperity depended, closed in 1990, one of the last deep mines in South Wales. The houses on the extreme right of the picture have since been demolished.

Rhondda - gem of the valleys, Maerdy
A rather faded roundel embedded in a rock declares that Rhondda is the gem of the valleys. Presumably there is little disagreement with that opinion here in Maerdy, at the top of the Rhondda Fach valley, though residents of other South Wales valleys may disagree!
The location is at the intersection of North Terrace (on the left) and Park Place. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2412369

Maerdy public library
The Rhondda Cynon Taf Council public library is located on a triangle of land between Park Place and North Terrace, next door to the community centre. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2411898
By 2009, the library had become shabby externally, and was in need of internal updating. With a £120,000 grant from CyMAL, the Welsh Assembly Government Capital Funding division, and £12,000 from the council, refurbishment and updating took place between November 2009 and January 2010. The result is an attractive exterior and modernised interior, with a new ICT suite.
