A Welsh Family Idyll<br />
Vincent Evans (1895 - 1976)<br />
about 1935<br />
The expansion of Welsh industry in the nineteenth century led to the<br />
growth of towns throughout the coalfields. Large numbers of people moved from<br />
rural areas and further afield for work. Mines were sunk, works and railways were<br />
constructed, and hundreds of thousands of houses were built.<br />
Rural valleys were transformed and a large number of new communities<br />
developed. This laid the foundations of modern Wales.<br />

20th Century<br />
At the end of the nineteenth century Wales was one of the most<br />
important coal producing countries in the world. As its peak industry<br />
employed around quarter of a million. With over fifty million tons of<br />
coal being produced from around 600 collieries.<br />
It was once the most important industrial, social and political forces in<br />
modern Wales. Today the industry has all but varnished.<br />
