Llanharry ((ウェールズ語:Llanhari)) is a small village in the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Historically Llanharry has been inextricably linked with iron mining as far back as the Roman period and Elizabethan era, and for a period in the 20th century it boasted the only iron mine in Wales. ==Employment== Llanharry iron mine worked from the early 1900s but closed in 1976;〔''The Welsh Academy Encyclopaedia of Wales''. John Davies, Nigel Jenkins, Menna Baines and Peredur Lynch (2008) pg500 ISBN 978-0-7083-1953-6〕 its main ore was goethite, which was used at the local ironworks. 〔(Glamorgan Archives: Glamorgan Haematite Iron Ore Mine, Llanharry records ). Accessed 5 June 2014〕 Since the closure of its mines and ironworks, Llanharry has been in economic decline, but this is an event that has occurred across most South Wales Valleys villages once dependent on heavy industry. Llanharry's proximity to the M4 motorway in Wales has allowed its residents opportunities to commute to work more easily rather than seeking work locally. Llanharry contains a few small local amenities, such as a corner shop and a hairdressers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Llanharry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
