Living at Rhyd-y-car
ℹ️ About this resource
From the early 1800s the Rhyd-y-car cottages housed industrial workers at Merthyr Tydfil. The cottages were damaged in a flood in 1979 and six were re-built at St Fagans.
Janet Davies who was born in 1902 at 16, Rhyd-y-car, was interviewed when the cottages were opened at St Fagans. These are extracts from that interview.

Curriculum
HUMANITIES | Enquiry, exploration and investigation inspire curiosity about the world, its past, present and future.
The learners’ journey through this Area will encourage enquiry and discovery, as they are challenged to be curious and to question, to think critically and to reflect upon evidence. An enquiring mind stimulates new and creative thinking, through which learners can gain a deeper understanding of the concepts underpinning humanities, and their application in local, national and global contexts. Such thinking can help learners to understand human experiences and the natural world better.
