How did Mountain Ash get its name? 🌳🍺 200 years ago, this whole town didn't exist! It was built along the Aberdare Canal, and canal workers frequented a public house called The Mountain Ash Inn—named after a lone rowan tree growing right outside. When the coal boom arrived, the entire town took the pub’s name! Thanks to @dublmstudio for the illustration to the pub! Check out his work and support his business ❤️ #MountainAsh #rhonddacynontaf #WelshHistory #historytok #jayceecharles
