:In 1959 the Friends of Abergavenny Museum committee saved the crumbling hunting lodge at Abergavenny Castle from demolition and raised funds to create the first Abergavenny Museum. The committee went on to found the Abergavenny Local History Society. Today the society has almost 400 members. Members enjoy monthly talks and summer visits to places of interest. The museum was handed to the county council in 1971. More recently, the society created a Victorian-themed garden to complement the museum's Victorian collection. | :In 1959 the Friends of Abergavenny Museum committee saved the crumbling hunting lodge at Abergavenny Castle from demolition and raised funds to create the first Abergavenny Museum.

:Abersychan & Garndiffaith Local History Group was formed in 1994 following a public meeting. Since that time to the present, our group has held monthly meetings with speakers on various aspects of local history, recorded aspects of local history which otherwise would have been lost, publishing them in a series of small, inexpensive journals, and these activities provide a source for present and future generations. We hope you enjoy your visit to this historic industrial area situated in the most eastern valley of the South Wales Coalfield, Wales, United Kingdom. | |||
