Cheese-Making in Glamorgan
In pre-industrial Glamorgan most of the inhabitants were involved in agriculture, earning their living either by pastoral or arable farming or were occupied in related crafts and skills. The upland regions, known as ‘Y Blaenau’, owing to geographic conditions concentrated on the breeding of cattle, horses, sheep and goats and produced butter, cheese and wool. The low-lying regions of the Vale, ‘Y Fro’, with its richer, more fertile soil enabled t…
Going Electric
I'm glad that I have lived to experience the best of two worlds: the pre-electric era with its open hearth and peat fire, and now the convenience of modern-day appliances, the press-the-button era!This quotation is from a letter written by a female correspondent from rural north Wales in 1987. By and large, over thirty years have elapsed since electricity was brought to rural Wales, and consequently it seemed that time was ripe to capture the mem…

By directing the Conference partic…
Laundering in the Welsh Home
One of the earliest accounts of washing clothes is that found in the Odyssey of Homer, thought to have originated in the eighth century B. c. The scene depicts Nausikäa, the princess of the Phaiakins and her maids on an island:Now when they had come to the delightful stream of the river, where there was always a washing place, and plenty of glorious water, that ran through the wash what was ever so dirty, there, they unyoked the mules ... while t…
Knitting Stockings in Wales-A Domestic Craft
Traditional skill in knitting stockings and its contribution to the domestic economy in most parts of rural Wales during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, cannot be ignored. Indeed, the domestic stocking industry was a notable feature of the economic life of many districts, whereby men and children joined forces with the womenfolk to knit stockings—not only for their own families but also to sell and thus gain a source of income. Writing o…
