Blaenavon Industrial Landscape, in and around Blaenavon, Torfaen, Wales, was inscribed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000.
The Blaenavon Ironworks, now a museum, was a major centre of iron production using locally mined or quarried iron ore, coal and limestone.
Raw materials and products were transported via horse-drawn tramroads, canals and steam railways.
The Landscape includes protected or listed monuments of the industrial processes, transport infrastructure, workers' housing and other aspects of early industrialization in South Wales.
The Blaenavon Ironworks, now managed by Cadw, operated from 1789 to 1902. Today there are remains of six blast furnaces, cast houses, boiler rooms, engine houses, the water balance tower used to raise and lower railway trucks, and workers' housing around Stack Square.
The remains of the furnaces from the late 18th century and the 19th century are well preserved.
Other elements include the 1839 water balance tower, two casting houses, ruined kilns, the base of the massive chimney of the blowing engine, the cast-iron structure that carried the blast pipes to the furnaces and ruins of workers' housing.
The Big Pit was the last deep coal mine to remain operational in the area.
The surface buildings, winding gear and underground workings are still in excellent condition.
The Big Pit coal mine, now managed by Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales, was worked from around 1860 until 1980.
The original pithead buildings have been preserved, including the head frame, winding engine and baths.
The Big Pit Colliery was reopened as a museum in 1983.
Visitors may take an underground tour.
In 2005 it won the Gulbenkian Prize for museum of the year.
Extant buildings from the early industrial period include worker's housing terraces, St. Peter's Church (1804), St. Peter's School (1816) and the Blaenavon Workmen's Hall (1894).
Other elements of the Industrial Landscape are the mines and quarries from which coal, iron ore, fire clay and limestone were extracted.
There are traces of horse-drawn railways, tunnels and inclines that were used to carry iron ore, coal and limestone to the ironworks, and to carry pig iron to the Garnddyrys Forge.
Wrought iron was taken from the forge to Llanfoist on the Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal for transport to other parts of Britain and the world.
There are walks and trails along which visitors may explore the Landscape.
Waymarked footpaths follow the tracks of the earliest iron railways.
The Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway was once an important transport facility.
The steam railway has been restored and has a station in the centre of the town.

Big Pit National Coal Museum is an industrial heritage museum in Blaenavon, Torfaen, South Wales.
A working coal mine from 1880 to 1980, it was opened to the public in 1983 under the auspices of the National Museum of Wales.
The site is dedicated to operational preservation of the Welsh heritage of coal mining, which took place during the Industrial revolution.
Located adjacent to the preserved Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway, Big Pit is part of the Blaenavon Industrial Landscape, a World Heritage Site, and an Anchor Point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
For some years before closure, the mine had been identified as being a possible heritage attraction and a working group was set up made up of the National Coal Board, local government, the National Museum, the Welsh Development Agency and the Welsh Office.
Soon after the pit closed, Torfaen Borough Council bought the site for £1 and it was given to a charitable trust called the Big Pit (Blaenavon) Trust to manage the conversion to a heritage museum.
The initial development cost £1.5 million with funding from the Welsh Tourist Board, the European Regional Development Fund, the borough council and Gwent County Council.
The mine reopened for visitors in 1983 and created 71 jobs.
A number of buildings were subsequently given protected status at the site.
The Powder House, Saw mill Office Electrical Workshop, Pit Head Building, Headframe and Tram Circuit, and Miners' Bathhouse were each given Grade II Listed Building status on 2 September 1995.
The Powder House building was used to store explosives needed for mine work during the time Big Pit was an active mine.
The mine is covered by HM Inspectorate of Mines regulations, because it is still classed as a working pit.
Visitors wear a plastic hard hat, safety lamp, and a battery on a waist belt which weighs 5 kilograms .
Visitors must also carry on their belt a rebreather, which in case of emergency will filter foul air for approximately one hour, giving a chance for survival and escape.
Before taking the 50 minute underground tour 90 metres below ground, contraband must be surrendered, such as anything containing a dry cell battery from watches to mobile phones.
Automatic gas monitoring systems are discreetly positioned around the tunnels, as are emergency telephone systems.
Some safety beams were monitored around the area.

12 Best Towns to Live in Wales
What are the best towns in Wales? We do not get to hear a lot about cities and towns in Wales, not as much as we do about those in England and Scotland. However, whenever the towns to live in the UK are ranked, Welsh towns find their way in. That inevitably reveals the best places to live in Wales. Sorting through the ranking, we are able to isolate the 12 best towns to live in Wales. Please bear in mind that our ranking relies to a large extent, but not entirely, on the most recent ranking of towns in Britain in the marketing report by the property finder company, Garrington’s. Factors considered are employment, green spaces, physical environment, quality of living, and architecture or heritage.
12. Narberth, Pembrokeshire
Just two years ago, Narberth was among the 8 Welsh villages and towns named the best places to live in the UK. It actually tops that ranking. Two years later, things are only getting better. A reputable online mortgage broker gives the town's average property price as 164,950 pounds. You can’t rush through your shopping in this beautiful small town. There are a lot of good and uncommon things to be bought and at reasonable prices there. On the high streets of this town are antique shops, vintage and craft outlets, award-winning cafes, delicatessens featuring local produce, restaurants and pubs among others. It also has a museum and romantic castle ruins. It has very good schools and great transport links.
11. Usk, Monmouthshire
Usk, a town and community in Monmouthshire, stands out in Wales. This town located 16 kilometers northeast of Newport is on the River Usk and is spanned by an arched stone bridge toward the western entrance to the town. This is a town with well-designed homes and bursting with community spirit.
We perfectly agree with the Sunday Times’ expert judges ranking Usk among the loveliest towns to live in Wales. Truly, on a more important note, a look at the air quality, school standards, broadband speed, and transport in this town will necessitate its inclusion here. It also ranks so well for green spaces, community culture, and the health of the attractive high street.
10. Glanaman, Carmarthenshire
Glanaman is another town with an overall high rank among the best towns to live in Wales. Out of 1372 places ranked in the United Kingdom, it ranks 71st. In the same ranking, we find it in the second position for natural beauty. For the quality of life rank, it holds the 200th position while its architectural beauty places it in the 796th position. As for green rank, it finds a place in number 555.
This town has a strong historical link to the ancient coal mining industry. Sited in the valley of the River Amman, Glanaman’s average family home cost is less than 350,000 pounds.
9. Blaenavon, Torfaen
Blaenavon, a town in Torfaen, is another Welsh town steeped in history. It was at one point the world giant among the important producers of iron, coal, and steel.
On the quality of life, it was the 69th best place to live in the UK while for natural beauty, it’s in the enviable third position. It’s also in the impressive 7th position for architectural beauty. The average family home costs less than 350,000 pounds. It would have ranked higher on this list but for its poor ranking for green space.
8. Brecon, Powys
Brecon in Powys, another market town, is also among the loveliest towns to live in Wales. The town is reputable for its annual scintillating jazz festival and its gorgeous cathedral is situated just within the Brecon Beacons National Park.

Blorenge 1 of 7 hills of Abergavenny #abergavenny #wales #walk #hike
The Blorenge
Walk duration: 2 hours
Foxhunter car park
In 1952, Sir Harry Llewellyn rode Foxhunter to take Gold in the Helsinki Olympic. The remains of the horse are buried near the car park, with a small memorial dedicated to him.
Sir Harry Llewellyn himself died at the age of 88 in November 1999, at his home in Abergavenny. His ashes were scattered over the Blorenge mountain.
Getting there by car
From Abergavenny, head out towards Llanfoist along the B4246. Keep going through the village and on towards Govilon. At Govilon take a left turn, signposted Blaenavon. This takes you over the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal, around a couple of tight hair pins, and then a steep climb brings you up the side of the Blorenge mountain. There are some good views looking back across the Usk valley, but try to keep your eyes on the road ahead as there are often sheep wandering across the road. Keep going past the Cordell Country Inn (named after the local author) until the road begins to level out. On the left you will see Keeper’s Pond, then take the second left (the first left takes you to the pond). About a mile along this road you will come to Foxhunter car park on the left, opposite some big radio masts.
The path should be fairly obvious from the car park as it is well worn, and there are usually some other people around who look as though they know where they are going. Look out for the Foxhunter memorial as you leave the car park (see side panel for more information). Simply follow the path (heading away from the radio masts) until you get to the front of the Blorenge. Note – the ground here is rough and you may have to scramble over loose stones and rocks in places.
It can be slippery up here, so be careful. But this simply has to be the best view in the area. The whole of Abergavenny is laid out beneath you, with the Sugarloaf and Skirrid mountains providing the back drop.
12 Best Places to Live in Wales
What are the best places to live in Wales? We have taken our time to access all, yes we mean it, all cities, towns, and villages in Wales for moments like this. Out of them all, we have come up with the 12 best places to live in Wales in this video. The places mentioned here have certain unique characteristics that stand them out among all the other places in the region. If you carefully consider the most credible rankings about Wales, you would find these places among the most loved towns in Wales. You will find most of them even on our own list of the best towns to live in Wales. We encourage you to see those videos to complement whatever you are going to see here.
12. Blaenavon, Torfaen
A good place to search for accommodation is Blaenavon, a town and community in Torfaen County. The home of award-winning mystery writer Dorothy Simpson, several famous rugby players, and Olympic athletes is high on a hillside on the Afon Lwyd source. It’s one of the Welsh best places to live. Thanks to the efforts being made by many thriving community groups who have served to improve the town. One of them is Future Blaenavon, whose efforts have led to the creation of a community garden down the town. In 2000, parts of Blaenavon were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Site. The place occupying 33 square kilometers has several attractions, events and dance performances.
11. Brecon, Powys
We are sure those who know Wales too well would be disappointed if Brecon, just like Kidwelly, Abergavenny, Cardigan, Barmouth, and Tenby, is missing on this list. This town in and community in Carmarthenshire in southwest Wales alongside its peers has featured in many good rankings and its omission here can’t be explained. For instance, they have been listed among the best towns to live in Wales, the best small towns to live in Wales, the most loved towns in Wales, and even the best small towns to live in Britain. Whatever has given it such good reckonings must find a slot for it among the best places to live in Wales.
10. St Davids
St Davids is likely the only city found here. Also known as St Davids and the Cathedral Close or St David's, the community is the smallest geographical area granted city status in the UK by population and by urban area. The city, lying on the River Alun, is the final resting place of Saint David, Wales's patron saint. It was obviously named after him. The link to this patron is a powerful reason why things are going well for this one of the small cities.
9. Abergavenny, Monmouthshire
Just like Brecon and other places mentioned earlier, Abergavenny, a market town and community in Monmouthshire, well deserves its slot here. What we can’t be sure of is whether you would want the town in this 9th position. Okay, you’re free to let us know if it deserves a higher ranking. In any case, we all can agree that the town approximately 10 kilometers from the border with England has beautiful scenery, locally delicious food, and appealing ecotourism.
8. Llandudno, Conwy
Llandudno is another seaside resort, town, and community. Located in Conwy County Borough, it’s on the Creuddyn peninsula protruding into the Irish Sea. This is a town of battlements, boats, and birds with an atmospheric seaside town having charm and rebellion in buckets and spades.

Places to see in ( Pontypool - UK )
Places to see in ( Pontypool - UK )
Pontypool is a town that is home to approximately 36,000 people in the county borough of Torfaen, within the historic boundaries of Monmouthshire in South Wales. It is situated on the Afon Lwyd river in the county borough of Torfaen. Situated on the eastern edge of the South Wales coalfields, Pontypool grew around industries including iron and steel production, coal mining and the growth of the railways. A rather artistic manufacturing industry which also flourished here alongside heavy industry was Japanning, a type of lacquer ware.
Pontypool itself consists of several smaller districts, these include Abersychan, Cwmffrwdoer, Pontnewynydd, Trevethin, Penygarn, Wainfelin, Tranch, Brynwern, Pontymoile, Blaendare, Cwmynyscoy, New Inn, Griffithstown and Sebastopol.
Pontypool has a notable history as one of the earliest industrial towns in Wales. The town and its immediate surroundings were home to significant industrial and technological innovations, with links to the iron industry dating back to the early fifteenth century when a bloomery furnace was established at Pontymoile. During the sixteenth century, largely due to the influence of the Hanbury family, the area developed its association with the iron industry and continued to consolidate its position in the seventeenth century, when the development of the town began in earnest. Throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the metallurgical and extractive industries of the area, along with the development of the canals and railways, provided the impetus to the expansion of Pontypool and its surrounding villages and communities.
The construction of the Monmouthshire Canal during the 1790s connected Pontnewynydd to Newport and later connected with the Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal at Pontymoile in 1812. Tramroads leading from industrial areas within an eight-mile radius of the canal converged at either Pontnewynydd or Pontymoile.
The tramroads and canals were superseded by the railways in the mid-nineteenth century. From 1845, work commenced on establishing a railway from Pontypool to Newport. The line opened to passengers in 1852 and connected with Blaenavon in 1854. It eventually came under the management of the Great Western Railway. Another line was constructed during the 1860s and 1870s to connect Pontypool with Newport via Caerleon. Connections were also made with Abergavenny, Hereford and the Taff Vale. Pontypool had three railway stations, namely Crane Street, Clarence Street and Pontypool Road. Line closures during the 1960s greatly reduced the valley's railway connections, which were replaced by modern roads. The only passenger line still operating within Pontypool is at an unmanned station in New Inn. Pontypool & New Inn station is on the Welsh Marches Line with trains provided by Arriva Trains Wales.
Pontypool is well known for its extensive park. Pontypool Park was the historic seat of the Hanbury family, who developed a permanent residence in Pontypool in c. 1694 and, under the direction of Major John Hanbury, subsequently established a deer park in the early 1700s. The park became a venue for recreation and enjoyment for the Hanbury family and their associates.
( Pontypool - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Pontypool . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Pontypool - UK

A VISIT TO BIG PIT COAL MUSEUM- BLAENAVON
This video will hopefully give an idea what can be seen in this museum. In fact it even looks like the pit could be brought back into use at little notice as it appears to be unchanged since closure in 1980. A great place to visit although the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway/s Big Pit Halt was closed at the time (19th September 2020) nor was the trip down the mine shaft available all due to Covid19. The tour around the pit is free but you will need to pay a car parking charge if you use the car park. There is a brief view of the Blaenavon Iron Works at the end of this video.

St Mark's Church, Silvertown or St Mark's Church, Victoria Docks is a former church building in Silvertown in east London, located on North Woolwich Road.
It takes one of its names from the nearby Royal Docks.
It was listed as Grade II in 1971and now houses the Brick Lane Music Hall.
The church was founded as a joint church and school, housed in an iron building and opened in 1857.
The building survived the war but the decline of the London docks in the 1960s led to a sharp drop in local population and major slum clearances in the area.
The church was declared redundant in 1974 and its parish merged with those of two of its former mission churches, St Barnabas' and St John's – St Barnabas was also declared redundant, with St John's becoming the sole church for the resulting parish of North Woolwich with Silvertown.
The church building was bought in 1979 by Newham Council, with the intention of turning it into a museum.
A major fire in 1981 largely destroyed the roof, which was replaced between 1984 and 1989.
After the fire the Brick Lane Music Hall took on the building, converting it to its present use in 2003–2004 to host traditional music hall and (since 2006) produced shows.
Brick Lane Music Hall had opened in 1982 in the former Truman’s Brewery building in Brick Lane, before moving to Shoreditch and then its present building.
It was established by Vincent Hayes, who had previously performed with his band at the Lord Hood pub, where he was landlord during the 1980s.
The church's exterior was left largely unchanged, whilst a stage, bar, kitchen and lighting and sound equipment were added to the interior, with offices housed in the church's former vestry.
In 2004 a mural was painted on the wall behind the church's exterior war memorial, whilst a new lighting and sound rig was installed in October 2006.
Audiences are seated at tables in a cabaret-style arrangement and food is served during the interval at matinees and before the show in the evenings.
Brick Lane Music Hall is licensed for weddings and civil partnership ceremonies as well as being involved in workshops for schools, as well as taking shows to community centres, care homes and hospices throughout the East End.

Garn Lakes & Blaenavon Railway
The Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway & Garn Lakes
This place was lovely visit at dusk. I never knew this existed until someone commented on the Brecon Railway video we took near Post Still reservoir.
This was a very lazy simple shoot as sun was setting and just a look around.. we were stunned at the beauty of the lakes & the quality of the Railway Station.
We went when it was closed and after approaching the organisation on their Facebook page we set about a short recon minus visitors and engines running. We also came across some lovely ponds for some very special double pond walking spots!
Thanks to Carl, one of the evening staff on location for making us welcome and some great stories too.
