SPOTLIGHT ON: Rhondda Heritage Park

Sat, 28/01/2023

This month's Spotlight Project is Rhondda Heritage Park Underground Experience Centre in South Wales (CF37), a major tourist attraction in the area, focusing on the lives of the local coal mining community from the 1790s-1980s. The Rhondda Valley was one of the most important coal mining areas in the world and the Heritage Park is on the site of the former Lewis Methyr Colliery, an Anchor Point of ERIH, The European Route of Industrial Heritage.

We were very pleased to be asked to refurbish the 1100m2 area of highly detailed terraces and walkways forming the main tour routes around the complex. The project was to a tight deadline (5 weeks to coincide with Santa's visit to the Centre) so needed to be achieved quickly and in such a way that the Centre could continue to operate tours throughout. We were also tasked with retaining as much substrate as possible, so as to minimise environmental waste and disruption.
