Description
For two hundred years Tredegar, situated at the head of the Sirhowy valley, produced coal and iron that was renowned for its quality wherever these products were sold. But this was not all, at the same time those working in its furnaces mills and mines were helping to create a vital and influential society. Heavy industry has vanished now but the achievements of that age, political, musical, medical and social are recalled here with pride by some of those moulded by this remarkable town.
