The Society was formed in 1999 to carry out research into the history of the
Ogmore Valley, to collect and collate documents, photographs and other
historical evidence relating to the Ogmore Valley. The Society intends to
preserve products of these studies in the form of appropriate publications,
photographs, CD ROM`s, Videos, DVD`s and various electronic media.
The published work will be aimed particularly at the schoolchildren of the
valley.
For the purposes of the Society, the “Ogmore Valley” is deemed to include the habitations of Blackmill, Glyn Llan, Glynogwr,
Lewistown, Nantymoel, Pricetown, Ogmore Vale, Pant-Yr-Awel and Wyndham,
together with their environs. These districts fall within the ancient parishes
of Llandyfodwg and Llangeinor.
