Cerys Morgan-Gumm, a local Llwydcoed artist, has kindly given permission for her drawing to
be displayed on the website. If you are interested in other examples of
Cerys's work, there is a gallery of her drawings of local buildings and
scenery that you can see by clicking here.
These buildings were vacated by the school in 1978, and in 1996 when this
drawing was made the building was being used as council offices. We noticed
that by 1996, considerable changes had been made to the frontage; widow
sashes had been changed so that most of the small window panes had gone,
the chimney stacks removed, and the windows above the frieze bearing the
school name, Aberdare Technical and Intermediate Schools, had completely
disappeared. These alterations can be appreciated if the 1956 photograph
is used for comparison; click here to see it.
