MenuOakdale, Monmouthshire
Oakdale is a large village in the valleys of the Sirhowy River in western Monmouthshire. Construction of Oakdale began a few years after the sinking of the Oakdale pit in 1907. The revolutionary "model village" was the brainchild of the manager of the Tredegar Iron and Coal Company, Mr A S Tallis. It was described by John Newman as "by far the most ambitious attempt by any mining company in south Wales to provide planned housing for its workforce." Oakdale Business Park occupies a 400-acre site on the former location of Oakdale Colliery. The village is within the council area of Caerphilly.
