Ogmore Valley Local History & Heritage Society

The Society was formed in 1999 to carry out research into the history of the Ogmore valley, to collect and collate documents, photographs and other historical evidence relating to the Ogmore Valley.

 

The Society intents to preserve products of these studies in the form of appropriate publications, photographs,  and various electronic media.

 

The published work will be aimed particularly at the school children of the valley.

 

For the purposes of the Society, the Ogmore Valleyis deemed to include the habitations of Blackmill, Glynogwr, Lewistown, Nantymoel, Ogmore Vale, Pant-Yr-Awel and Wyndham, together with their environs. These districts fall within the ancient parishes of Llandyfodwg and Llangeinor.
