More about this scene
Timothy Whites, the chemist, was a familiar sight in post-war Wales and is a conspicuous business on the Square. Treorchy has suffered all the vicissitudes that every South Wales coal industry community has suffered in the 20th century, and now unemployment is a sad statistic. One product of the town has shone out like a beacon during this period, however. The Treorchy Male Voice Choir must be regarded as one of the success stories in the cultural history of Wales.
