The Woollen Museum in nearby Drefach-Velindre tells the story of how important this traditional rural industry was to this place at the time of the Industrial Revolution.

Dist:1.4km northeast<br/>I am using the nomenclature, Dre-fach Felindre, which is used on the village road signs and the Royal Mail's official postal address. However, the actual name of the post office is Velindre, the Anglicised version of only the second word, even on the Welsh-language side of the oval sign, which says "Swyddfa'r Post Velindre". The postbox is an Elizabeth II-reign specimen.
