The Llanhilleth Heritage Centre is located at Llanhilleth Miners' Institute near Abertillery. The Centre is manned every Tuesday afternoon from 2.00pm to 4.00pm and anyone interested in the heritage of the Llanhilleth Ward, that's Aberbeeg, Brynithel, Llanhilleth and Swffryd, is welcome to call in and have a chat.
The aim of the Centre is to preserve and record the heritage of the ward. They have a Community Archive for photographs, documents and digital recordings - a link is given below. There is a Chronicle of Events which lists many interesting events from the 13th Century to the present day. A few are listed here. Do you have any you can add?
This chronicle will never be complete and the Trustees are always looking for any additional information they can add. Anything interesting about buildings, people, sporting or cultural organistions is more than welcome. Display space is limited but small donated items can be accommodated.

I was born in Llanhilleth but I now live in the Rhondda Valleys. I wish I could call in Centre and see the old pictures of the surrounding area old and new. I'm very tied with family at the moment but I will call in one day.
