Tylorstown (Welsh: Pendyrus) is a village and community (or civil parish) located in the Rhondda Valley, in the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. It was founded by Alfred Tylor (1824-1884) who set up an early coal mining operation in the location in the mid-19th century. The last working mine in the village closed in the 1960s. The villages of Penrhys, Pontygwaith and Stanleytown are within the community of Tylorstown. The population in the UK census of 2011 was 4,546. [edit] Research Tips
