Resting high on a Welsh mountainside and overlooking the Rhymney Valley, Fochriw has a rich history fixed firmly in the days of a now almost forgotten vibrant coal industry. Through a century of strife and contention the community spirit comradeship and characters who developed here are second to none. As with the previous book the now completely disappeared hamlets of Penybanc and Pantywaun are also remembered as well as Pentwyn of which only a small portion is left.
