Welsh & National Identity
Close to the bandstand in this family-friendly park is the memorial to Evan James (1809-1878) and James James (1833-1902), the Pontypridd father and son who composed the iconic Welsh National Anthem Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau (‘Land of My Fathers’). The composers are remembered with the statues of two bronze figures in Celtic robes – a man holding a harp representing music, and a woman representing poetry. You can find out more about them and the history of Pontypridd in the new walking trail starting at Pontypridd Museum, which also has an audio guide available here. Whilst at Ynysangharad War Memorial Park, enjoy the fantastic new playground and redeveloped 1920s Lido Ponty.
