Abertillery, which translates as ‘mouth of the River Tyleri’, is the biggest town of the Ebbw Fach valley in what used to be the historic county of Monmouthshire, South Wales. Following local government reorganisation it entered into the Blaenau Gwent County Borough administrative region. Much of the landscape surrounds the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Blaenavon World Heritage Site. Historically a vital coal mining centre, the Abertillery area has gone through major transformation in recent years. The local landscape has long been recognised for its varied natural appeal. Situated on the A467, the town is roughly 15 miles (22 kilometres) north of the M4 and 5 miles (8 km) south of the A465 ‘Heads of the Valleys’ trunk road. It is roughly 25 miles by road from Cardiff and 47 miles from Bristol. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11601 people. Statistics gathered by The Welsh Language Board (Bwrdd yr Iaith Gymraeg) in 2001 show that 9.9% of Abertillery spoke Welsh, which decreased by 2.7 percent in 2011 to 7.2%. Abertillery’s traditional-style town centre largely developed in the late 19th century and includes some attractive Victorian architecture. Expanding over four main streets, the town has two department shops and a covered Victorian arcade linking two of the main shopping areas. These are all incorporated in a Blaenau Gwent Borough Council remodelling and modernisation venture. By 2014, finished projects included several streets, public areas and the town’s Metropole Theatre. This RICS prize-winning structure offers state of the art production, exhibition, conference and meeting facilities in addition to housing Abertillery Museum.
