HAVE CONTACTED HIRWAUN COUNCIL TWO YEARS BACK RE THIS MATTER, THEY ASKED FOR FURTHER INFORMATION BUT THEN SILENCE? WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH HIRWAUN THAT IT DOES NOT SEEM INTERESTED IN REMEMBERING THIS IMPORTANT HISTORICAL EVENT IN  WELSH WORKERS HISTORY? PLEASE CONTACT THE COUNCIL AND ASK THEM TO GO AHEAD WITH THIS MEMORIAL PROJECT AS LLANTRISANT REMEMBERS DR PRICE, MERTHYR DIC PENDERYN AND NEWPORT THE 1839 RISING.  BELOW SOME IDEAS FOR MEMORIAL/MURAL AND LEWIS LEWIS STATUE (Photographed at Hirwaun on way to Merthyr and Aberfan 21 October 2016).







MEMORIALISING THE IRON WORKS IN WOOD.









A WOODEN BENCH TO MEMORIALISE THE IRON WORKS, GOOD LOCATION FOR A RED DAWN RALLY TO COMMEMORATE 28 MAY 1831.






IT IS IN THIS AREEA POSSIBLY THE PENDERYN WORKERS RALLIED TO CALL OUT THE IRON WORKERS, THEN TO RAISE UP THE RED FLAG ON THIS 'HIRWAUN COMMON'.












BEHIND THESE TREES ARE REMAINS OF THE IRON WORKS, BETTER SEEN IN THE AUTUMN. OF COURSE IF A MEDIEVAL CASTLE  THE TREES WOULD BE CLEARED AWAY AND HISTORICAL INFORMATION BOARDS PLACED ALL AROUND AND IN THE TOWN DIRECTING YOU TO THIS LOCATION.
