EDITORS COMMENTS
Welfare Grounds, Nelson, Treharris, near Abercynon, Glamorgan, Wales (circa 1900s) - A snapshot of a bygone era, this photograph captures the Welfare Grounds in the Welsh village of Nelson, located in the valley of the Rhondda Fawr in the borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Glamorgan. The image offers a glimpse into the community's past, showcasing the lush, green landscape where residents gathered for leisure and recreation. During the early 1900s, the coal mining industry was the primary source of employment in the region, attracting a large workforce from all over the UK. The living conditions for the miners and their families were often cramped and unsanitary, making access to open spaces and fresh air essential for their wellbeing. Welfare Grounds, managed by the local colliery company, provided a much-needed respite from the harsh realities of daily life. In this photograph, we see children playing on the grass, likely engaged in a game of cricket or soccer, while adults relax on the benches or mingle in small groups. The presence of a bandstand suggests that musical performances and other community events may have taken place here. The image evokes a sense of camaraderie and togetherness, as people from all walks of life came together to enjoy the simple pleasures of a sunny day in the countryside. As the coal industry declined and the region underwent significant socio-economic changes, the Welfare Grounds continued to serve as a vital community hub. Today, the site is a cherished piece of local history, a reminder of the resilience and spirit of the people of Nelson and the surrounding areas. This photograph stands as a testament to the power of community and the importance of accessible, green spaces in fostering a sense of belonging and connection.
