Rhydymwyn Valley History Society

Rhydymwyn Valley History Society The Society had its first informal meeting in May 2008 when about ten people attended, it currently has over 300 members. The core interest of RVHS is the operation of the Valley Works, Rhydymwyn and the involvement of Tube Alloys in the site. The many strands and consequences which have sprung from this period have led to a study of the relevant events between the years 1905 to 2010 and many diverse related topics, including the development of atomic power and bombs, chemical and biological weapons manufacturing, storage and disposal, the social history of our times and the fascinating plans considered and implemented during the Cold War. It is a story of wartime directed labour and billeting, the enfranchisement of female labour, the involvement of common people in a worthy but distasteful duty and in many ways a wonderful story where life was consistently difficult until the Coronation Year when we started to prosper as a united nation. This website is dedicated to telling a number of stories from various sources including oral histories, government records, press reports, TV and radio sources and many other inputs. We hope to cover all of the topics in three levels, a simple overview, a deeper consideration and finally an in depth view. Finally, our key short term objective is to save the Tube. Alloys Building from further degradation
