Nantybar documents the effects of great social changes on a small mining community in the Afan valley, and the struggle for education and decent living conditions, charting the reasons for its decline and eventual disappearance. A warm human account of the female Ivorites, child labour, Truck Shops and company doctors all featuring in Nantybar. Developed from one woman's obsession with tracing the history of a lost village, this little book is an ideal model for aspiring authors and one that conveys beautifully the delight that local history is capable of generating.
