Like many in the South Wales Valleys, it was once a coal-mining village. HistoryThe village of Abernant was established in 1801, as a direct result of the founding of the Abernant Ironworks by the Tappington family.{{sfn|Jones|1964|p=150}} In 1819 it was taken over by Rowland Fothergill, and later passed to his nephew, Richard Fothergill.{{sfn|Jones|1964|p=150}} Among the first houses to be built were those at Little Row and Moss Place. The streets of Abernant reflect the importance of industry in the area in the 19th century, with streets named Engineer's Row, Foreman's Row and Collier's Row etc.[1] {{double image|left|Abernant flooding Dec 1912.jpg|200|Abernant flooding Dec 1912 2.jpg|200|December 1912 flooding of Abernant Road}}Abernant Railway Station opened in 1854 along the Vale of Neath branch line to Merthyr Tydfil. For some time the village was nicknamed The Trap, possibly because the Aberdare Iron Company Tramroad crossed the Parish Road to Abernant.[1] The Marquis of Bute maintained a small cottage hospital in the area from 1875 until World War I, which was later used as the Trap Surgery until it was demolished in 1980.[1]A number of collieries operated in Abernant, many originally operated by the Aberdare Iron Company. The collieries were: Werfa No.1 (1846–1910); Werfa No. 2 (1879–1910); Mountain Pit (1866–1927); Blaennant Colliery (circa 1840–1927); Forge Pit (1851–1910) and River Level Colliery (circa 1840–1939).[1] In 1896, a flooding disaster occurred at River Level Colliery which killed six colliers.[1] The disaster occurred after it was inundated by water from the abandoned Ysguborwen Colliery. Although the Abedare Iron Company was responsible for the production of much coal in the Abernant area, it was never as well documented as some of the other works in the Rhondda Valley.[2] In December 1912, the village was subject to extensive flooding, the Abernant Road in particular. In the mid-1980s, NCB reported that they intended to reopen a mine in Abernant and exploit anthracite reserves.[3] LandmarksAbernant House was built by James Birch, cofounder with Jeremiah Homfray of Abernant Ironworks. In 1819 the ironworks were sold and the house was passed to Rowland Fothergill and later his nephew Richard Fothergill. Richard Fothergill was responsible for adding many extensions to the original building and landscaping of the grounds.[1] On March 1, 1892, Emma Talbot of Margam founded the St Michael's Theological College but in 1907 the college moved to Llandaff, Cardiff. Since 1917 Abernant House has been used as the site of Aberdare General Hospital.[1] On September 27, 1929, a fire gutted the main building, destroying its notable interior furnishings too.[1] The hospital later reopened in April 1933, and in 1939 W M Llewellyn funded the construction of a new maternity ward.
