MYNYDD SYLEN: REBECCA RIOTS REVISIONISM ON IT's LEADERS MIGHT BE REQUIRED Follow Up On Previous Post Plus Other Information.


  1. The Rebecca Struggle kicked off at Efail Wen on 13 May 1838 and continued into 1839, then phased out but sprung back into a more violent life in 1842 - 1843. The Summer of 1843 was particularly violent with the Carmarthen Rebecca Riot of 19 June 1843 bringing on board the poor of the town who used the riot as an excuse to attack the workhouse. In the same period what were increasingly viewed as ''extremists'' (Cayo & Coslett of the day?), the Stag & Pheasant Five Roads Gang were increasingly engaged in radical militant action against Toll Gates and those who ran them.

This Extremist Militancy focused the minds of many farmers and their political, often middle class Chartist leaders on the threat of a largelly 'Rate Payers Revolt' turning into something more of a peasant popular struggle similar to the Swing Riots in England and approaching the Welsh Borders. keeping in mind the Corn Riots and Enclosure struggles had previously put farmers and the labouring poor, farm workers, Quarry workers and Coal Miners on opposite sides.

Against this background take a fresh, perhaps Radical Revisionist look at the Mynydd Sylen meeting of the 25 August 1843. Perhpas if attending to avoid the Royal Wedding on 29 April with an alternnative event as a walk to Mynydd Sylen and a Picnic along with some healthy fresh air plus some healthy Discussion and Debate. Then for the evening retire to the Stag and Pheasant in Five Roads to celebrate the actions of the 'Five Road Radicals.
