Croeso — Welcome to the Llynfi Valley Historical Society Preserving and sharing the story of Maesteg and the Llynfi Valley The Llynfi Valley Historical Society exists to promote knowledge of the history of the Llynfi Valley.

What we do Host talks on local history, industry and community life Research and publish books about the Llynfi Valley Keep an archive of photographs, documents and memories Share stories and pictures with our online community Get involved New members and visitors are always welcome. Whether you grew up in the valley, have family roots here, or simply love local history, w...
