Gwalia Boot Factory

This plaque was unveiled by BGHF to mark where the former Gwalia Boot Factory, which later became the ‘Brynmawr Experiment’ reopened by Peter Scott and the Quakers as the Brynmawr Furniture Factory. The factory was heavily involved in war production for things such the webbing for the Mosquito fighter bomber during the Second World War.

The remains of the factory could be seen until it was demolished to make way for Melin Homes’ Factory Road development.
