Mountain Ash ((ウェールズ語:Aberpennar)) is a town and community in the Cynon Valley, in the County Borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. At the 2001 census, Mountain Ash had a population of 7,039,〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Office for National Statistics )〕increasing to 7,374 at the 2011 Census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Community population 2011 )〕 The Mountain Ash geographical area incorporates and includes the districts and villages of Penrhiwceiber, Cefnpennar, Cwmpennar, Caegarw, Darranlas, Fernhill, Glenboi and Newtown and Miskin. Mountain Ash lies within the historic county boundaries of Glamorgan. ==History== Unlike other villages in the South Wales Valleys, it remained quiet, being only disturbed in 1818 by the construction of the Aberdare Canal. It became disused in the early 19th century, filled in to form the New Cardiff Road in 1933.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mountain Ash )〕 The population of the village was 1,614 in 1841, rising to 11,463 in 1871 with the opening of local collieries. The 1851 census shows the construction of Duffryn Street and Navigation Street. By 1859 there were 12 public houses, some of the earliest being the Bruce Arms, the Junction Inn and the New Inn. By 1920, Kelly's Directory lists over 200 businesses within the village.〔 The coal industry had started to decline post the First World War, but after the Second World War factory industries were introduced to offset the serious fall in local mining employment. By the end of the 20th century the last coal mines had closed, and many of the town’s factories had ceased operation as well. New light industries and service activities only partly mitigated the resulting economic hardship. Mountain Ash along with the rest of the Cynon Valley and all the other South Wales Valleys was predominantly a Welsh speaking Valley up until the 19th century. 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「Mountain Ash, Rhondda Cynon Taf」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
