Tonypandy

Tonypandy is a town in South Wales known historically for its coal mining industry. In 1910, it was the site of a significant miners' strike that led to a riot, called the Tonypandy Riots, when police used force to suppress strikes demanding better conditions. The events highlighted tensions between miners and authorities, and the town's name is often associated with industrial strife and workers' rights movements. Today, Tonypandy is a community that reflects Wales's industrial heritage and ongoing efforts to remember labor struggles and industrial history.
