Clwydyfagwyr

From Encyc
The Twyn Carmel Inn, Clwydyfagwyr

Clwydyfagwyr is an area in the west of Merthyr Tydfil, south Wales.

The name comes from the Welsh words "clwyd" (hurdle), "y" (the), and "fagwyr/magwyr" (wall or enclosure).[1]

Clwydyfagwyr was originally a farming area. In the 19th century rows of houses were built, for workers at the nearby mines. In the 20th century it was expanded further with council/suburban housing.[2]
