-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-The 20th Century artist,

-L S Lowry...

-..has connections to the Rhymney

-Valley's Nelson Handball Court.

-This sketch recently sold for 9,000

-at an auction in Nantwich, England.

-This image by Lowry

-of the Nelson Handball Court...

-..is the last one in Wales.

-Rhodri has been to find out more

-about the image, game and court.

-It's believed a court

-was built in Nelson in 1864.

-But the Welsh played the game

-many years prior to this.

-The court opened next door to the

-Nelson Inn or today's Village Inn.

-The nearby Royal Oak followed suit

-to try and attract more customers.

-The game was popular in the village.

-What exactly was handball?

-A similar game was played at English

-private schools called Eton Fives...

-..which resembled squash but with

-three walls and the use of hands.

-Hundreds of spectators

-flocked to watch the matches.

-They also enjoyed a flutter or two

-and most players were coal miners.

-Bobby Brain and Kevin Dicks

-are former coal miners.

-Bobby is a Welsh handball champion

-and Kevin is a former international.

-They're heroes in Nelson for their

-talent and keeping the game alive.

-This court is older than

-any rugby or football club in Wales.

-It's a mining area and a lot of the

-boys worked hard in the collieries.

-They could earn more money

-playing handball on the court.

-This is part of the nostalgia of it

-and it's important to keep it going.

-Bobby is set to receive a MBE to

-thank him for promoting the game.

-And speaking of promoting...

-..this is what this sketch

-by Laurence Stephen Lowry has done.

-Lowry was famous for portraying

-the industrial landscape...

-..in his native area of Salford and

-Manchester in the mid 20th century.

-But what brought him to Wales?

-He wanted him see

-what the Valleys had to offer.

-He was in his 70s and the industries

-in Salford and Manchester had gone.

-He was introduced to Ebbw Vale

-where the industry still thrived.

-He looked upon it

-as fresh inspiration.

-The Valleys were a complete contrast

-to the flat landscape of Manchester.

-It introduced something new

-to his work.

-Lowry portrayed various

-South Wales towns in his career.

-He created this unique work

-in Nelson back in 1961.

-Eurfryn has introduced

-the master's work to his pupils.

-We've looked at his work this week

-especially the story...

-..of the napkin with a sketch

-of a game of handball in Nelson.

-It's a real shame that games

-like handball are dying out.

-Wouldn't it be great for the young

-to rediscover the game...

-..and for us to enjoy a revival in

-the Valleys and the Welsh capital?

-What a great story.

-Up-cycling or creating something new

-from something old is fashionable.

-Two rugby players have started

-a business from this new fashion...

-..and are creating shelves

-from old guitars.

-Owain Gwynedd

-has been to find out more.

-We're used to seeing rugby players

-being quite violent on the field.

-Therefore, we tend not to

-think of them as the creative types.

-However, it's time to think again.

-The Scarlets centre and

-rugby pundit, Steffan Hughes...

-..shares a house with

-the Ospreys prop, Gareth Thomas.

-They've started transforming old

-guitars into fashionable shelves.

-We take old or broken guitars,

-remove the front...

-..make the surround look nice

-and fit shelves inside the guitar.

-They can be hung on a wall

-or displayed wherever you want.

-I spotted the idea on Pinterest.

-I thought it would be something nice

-to have in my own home...

-..so Steff and I

-started making them.

-I know a man from Bridgend

-who sells broken or old guitars.

-Where do you transform the guitars?

-Where do you transform the guitars?

-

-We make them on the kitchen table.

-We don't eat on the table anymore

-as the table is full of guitars.

-Harry Robinson purchased a guitar

-for the mancave in his new house.

-Tom Williams from the Scarlets

-also has one.

-Several of the Ospreys players have

-also purchased guitars from Gareth.

-Rugby takes up most of our time but

-we're home from training at 4.00pm.

-Therefore, we do have time

-to make the guitar shelves.

-However, studying ahead of the games

-is our priority.

-We'd like to get people interested

-in buying our product...

-..so we can turn this hobby

-into a business.

-If you fancy one of those

-for your home...

-..the details are on the boys'

-Instagram and Twitter pages.

-Huw Richards has been

-my studio guest this evening.

-Tell us your YouTube address.

-You can find my YouTube channel

-by searching for HuwsNursery.

-I used to sell plants

-under that name too.

-I've recently been planting rhubarb

-and growing new vegetables.

-Congratulations on your success.

-I hope you'll receive

-lots more viewers.

-Thank you, Huw.

-means one thing - Fancy A Fortune?

-Last week, Eleri Jones from Groeslon

-won 1,000.
