Pen-y-Fal Hospital

[edit]

"The Joint Counties Lunatic Asylum, Abergavenny, was opened in 1851 and initially served the Monmouthshire, Herefordshire, Brecknockshire and Radnorshire. From 1897 it became the Monmouthshire Lunatic Asylum, then Monmouthshire Mental Hospital between 1916 and 1923. The hospital was then renamed Pen-y-Val, until 1950 when it became known as the Pen-y-Fal Hospital. The hospital was closed in 1996." (see [1]) I have added an external link to the county-asylums.com page and made a slight re-write, as the original entry suggested that the superintendent named was in some way responsible for the deaths. Alas, without some more references or supporting information, I fear the page for Dr. James Clendinning may not survive. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:19, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Walnut Tree Inn

[edit]

No mention of this restaurant? That's a pity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.55.48.120 (talk) 13:37, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hockey

[edit]

Abergavenny Hockey Club is mentioned in the text, but it is not mentioned what kind of hockey they play. Is it field hockey or ice hockey? Snowsuit Wearer (talk|contribs) 20:51, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[2] - the UK has hockey and ice hockey. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:16, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

She's is from Brynmawr. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.62.91.1 (talk • contribs) 15:22, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Why don't you sign and date your post? ‑ ‑ Gareth Griffith‑Jones The Welsh Buzzard ‑ ‑ 15:28, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I restored the entry as there was no edit summary. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:30, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:BITE. She is mentioned at Brynmawr. Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:31, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, Pandy where Diamandis was brought up, is located five miles north of Abergavenny? Martinevans123 (talk) 15:32, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed her from the list here. Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:46, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, although I can see why she has been associated with Abergavenny. Does she get any mention at Ross-on-Wye?Martinevans123 (talk) 15:48, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No - should she? Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:03, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure. Her article says: "She and her mother then moved to Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire."[1] How long does someone have to be resident to deserve a mention? I guess. before someone is famous, these locations are non-notable? Martinevans123 (talk) 16:10, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Geography

[edit]

I've added a new section provisionally titled 'Geography', though it deals more with the town's physical geography than its human geography - which also ought to get a better look-in than at present. Clearly the physical geography underlies and helps define the human geography, not least the siting of the old Roman fort and the crossing of the Usk. Perhaps someone more qualified to do so than I, can flesh out the human element more. cheers Geopersona (talk) 14:03, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
