The Tonypandy Riots 1910 -1911

The Cambrian Combine Strike in the Rhondda in November 1910 was caused by a dispute over wages for working difficult and abnormal veins in the coal pits. D. A. Thomas, who had been the Liberal MP for Cardiff Borough and Merthyr, was the owner of the Cambrian Combine and the trouble started when some men refused the pay he was offering. 800 men were locked out following the dispute and by November of that year 12,000 men from the Cambrian Combine were on strike.

 

Tension turned into violence as some strikers tried to stop others from going to work, and there were riots at Tonypandy. There was open fighting between workmen and the police, shops and other properties were destroyed. After the rioting, the Home Secretary, Winston Churchill, sent troops into the area to keep the peace. They stayed there for weeks and this made him unpopular in the area for many years. The workers were on strike until October 1911 when they were forced to return on the owners' terms and conditions.

 

 

King Edward VIII in Merthyr I936

Large crowds turned out to greet King Edward VIII in Merthyr Tydfil

on November 18th 1936. It was while visiting the Dowlais Steelworks that

he made his controversial comments on unemployment. The British public

were unaware of the impending abdication crisis at this time.

King Henry VIII

(1491 -1547) (Reigned 1509 -1547)

 

Henry VIII, the second King of the Welsh Tudor Dynasty, oversaw a series of parliamentary measures, initiated by his Minister Thomas Cromwell (circa 1485 – 1540), between 1535 and 1542 by which the legal system of Wales was annexed to England and incorporated into the English administration creating a single state and a single legal jurisdiction. The notorious Marcher Lords, with their own courts, were abolished and the Welsh border with England was established.  The Welsh were represented at the Englsh parliament but English and not Welsh becames the first language of the country. The reforms did however recognise Wales as a separated political entity from England and this later formed the basis for measures such as the Welsh Language Acts, the Welsh assembly and the establishment of a number of Welsh based institutions.

 

The Act of Union 1536

 

 

 

Henry Tudor (1457 – 1509)

Henry Tudor was the son of Welsh aristocrat Edmund Tudor (1430-1456) who was created Earl of Richmond in 1452 and English aristocrat Lady Margaret Beaufort (1443-1509). This gave him a tenuous claim on the English throne. As Earl of Richmond, Henry Tudor, took the throne from Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 and reigned as King Henry VII from 1485 to 1509 as the first monarch of the Welsh Tudor dynasty

Born: 28 Jan 1457, Pembroke Castle, Wales

Tekels Park to be Sold to a Developer

Concerns are raised about the fate of the wildlife as

The Spiritual Retreat, Tekels Park in Camberley,

Surrey, England is to be sold to a developer

 

Tekels Park is a 50 acre woodland park, purchased

 for the Adyar Theosophical Society in England in 1929.

In addition to concern about the park, many are

 worried about the future of the Tekels Park Deer

as they are not a protected species.

 

Many feel that the sale of a sanctuary 

for wildlife to a developer can only mean 

disaster for the park’s animals

 

Confusion as the Theoversity moves out of 

Tekels Park to Southampton, Glastonbury & 

Chorley in Lancashire while the leadership claim

that the Theosophical Society will carry on using 

Tekels Park despite its sale to a developer
