Bargoed was a rural town until the railway arrived and the colliery opened in 1903. Within seven years the mine employed almost 2,000 miners. Today Bargoed is well established shopping centre with a popular weekly market. A £10 million reclamation scheme has removed many of the town's industrial scars and created a country park.
