Pontypridd Museum


Situated next to the iconic bridge, Pontypridd museum gives a glimpse into many aspects of the industrial and social life of Pontypridd, formerly known as Newbridge.  Items that make you want more information.

The building itself is interesting with a wide range of books for sale on welsh life and personalities.

With flat screen TV's becoming ever larger, it was interesting to see this example.  Imagine the owner's delight in being able to see as well as hear programmes on this expensive, state-of-the art piece of equipment. The original owners must have been really rich.

An early entertainment centre.
Radio & TV combined

The history of chain makers, Brown Lenox & Co.



A wide selection of miners' lamps with details of their development.


Well worth a visit, with a multi-storey car park nearby.  Enjoy a walk on the iconic bridge and in the park alongside the river.
