BRIDGEND is a market and post town in the parishes of Coity and Newcastle, in the hundreds of Newcastle and Ogmore, in the union of Bridgend and Cowbridge, Cardiff court of Bankruptcy, and Bridgend county court district, and is the head polling place in elections for the county. It is 180 miles from London (by rail 190); Bristol ( via Bristol and South Wales Union Railway), 54; Cardiff, 20; Swansea, 26; Neath, 18; Aberavon, 12; Cowbridge, 7; and Porth Cawl about 7. It is situated on the line of the Great Western Railway, and both sides of the river Ogmore which falls into the Bristol Channel about 5 miles from here, and abounds with salmon, sewin trout and other fish. The river is the boundary of the two divisions of the town, respectively named "Old Castle," and "New Castle; " the former being in the parish of Coity, and the latter in that of its own name. Of the castles themselves, there remains nothing of the "old," and only the outer walls of the "New," in which is a doorway remarkable for its curious form and singular ornamentation. Near the ruins, on a considerable eminence, stands the parish church of St. Illtyd, whose tower contains an excellent peal of bells. The interior has recently been restored and beautified. The living is a vicarage annexed to the curacies of Bettws, Laleston and Tythegston, in the patronage of the Lord Chancellor.

The Town Hall occupies a central position in the town, and is a handsome and spacious building; in it is held the County Court for the district of Bridgend and Cowbridge, public meetings, balls, concerts, &c. It also contains a Mechanics' Institute, with reading rooms, and well selected library. The Glamorgan County Lunatic Asylum is situated about a mile and a half from the town, on the road to Maesteg. It comprises an extensive pile of buildings, principally in the Gothic style, and consists an extensive of a main building and three detached blocks, the main building is in the form of a cross, the centre consisting of the medical superintendent's house and the public offices, on the right hand, towards the public road, are two large detatched blocks for the male working patients; on the left hand the church, a neat little Gothic structure, engineer's offices and works, also a large block for female patients, connected with which are the laundry and drying ground. The only publicentrance is on the north side, on entering which on the left hand is the church which will accomodate about 250 patients; on the south side is the asylum farm; the diding hall adjoins the kitchen and is a lofty room about 80 feet long by 40 feet wide; the grounds covering about 14 acres of the estate, which consists in all of about 60 acres. It is calculated to accomodate over 600 patients, and is said to be the largest in South Wales. The river Ogmore runs through the grounds, which are beautifully laid out and planted, and its banks afford pleasant walks for the inmates. The internal arrangements are on the most extensive scale, and the various departments of the establishment are conducted with a view both to comfort and economy. The building is of recent erection, having been completed in 1864; the architects were Mr. Bell, of London, and Messrs. Martin and Chamberlain, of Birmingham. The Workhouse for the Bridgend and Cowbridge union is situated at a convenient distance from the town. The Boardof Guardians for the Bridgend union have recently erected in Merthyr Mawr road a cottage home for the reception of 60 children, under the superintendance of a master and matron with assistants. The new Police Court, a handsome stone building where petty sessions areheld and magisterial business is conducted, is situatedat the corner of Coity road, facing Caroline street. There is a handsome drinking fountain opposite Caroline street, erected by the late Dowager Dountess of Dunraven in memory of John Randall, Esq., in 1862.

The numerous collieries connected with these works embrace the whole of the parish of Llangeinor, the total extent being about 9,500 acres. The produce is a splendid coal of the purest description, and said to be the best in South Wales for the manufacture of iron. Both broad and narrow gauge rails are laid to the works for the conveyance of its minerals and manufactures to the principal ports of the Bristol channel, and to all parts of the Kingdom.
