Hen Glyncornel, Llwyn-y-Pia, is a former home of Archibald Hood, owner of Glamorgan 'Scotch' Colliery. Prior to the coming of the coal industry Glyncornel was a simple hillside farm, owned by the DeWinton family and farmed by Thomas Bevan in the 1840's. Hood constructed a substantial home on the site, Hen Glyncornel, for his son William Walker Hood. Now in use as a care home.
