2023-06-24

In this short play, guided by a character from the history of the Tollhouse, the audience will be invited to use their imaginations and try to see what this special place once was…’

THS Meeting
2023-01-17 19:00 - 20:30 UTC | The Tanyard, Queen Street, Tongwynlais, CF15 7NP, United Kingdom
We are desperate to continue fulfilling our ambitions for THS, but with such a small team with little free time, it’s proving difficult. If you are interested in history and have some free time please come along to the meeting. We are keen to set up a full committee going forward. We need help with funding applications, administration, project management, organisation and keeping the wheels turning. To give you a sense of our ambitions, we would like to complete the historic trail and tackle the neglected Tongwynlais Canal section. We would also like to host events at the Tollhouse and work with Cardiff Council to come up with an event plan over the spring/summer months and work with schools and creative groups.
If you think you could help and want to be involved please get in touch.

Come along to the Tollhouse Celebration on Saturday, September 10th between 10am – 12pm. We have welsh cakes and soft drinks and the famous Ton Silver Band will be playing us some tunes. It’s a get together to say a big thank you to all your support over the last year as we dug this little building out of 70 years of vegetation.
Parking – please use the sports field and walk a short distance down Ironbridge Road to the Tollhouse.

Who knows what we might find in the rubble!
