Journeying from the Brecon Beacons and into South Wales' industrial heartland, you'll discover the Blaenavon Ironworks, the place where Wales became a crucial part of the Industrial Revolution.
Initially harnessing the power of steam to blow air from its huge furnaces, it was from this very site where Wales blasted itself onto the global stage with the production of Welsh iron, building bridges, ships and railways as the world dramatically changed.
The story of the workers and their often ruthless treatment as well as perilous working conditions is preserved at this remarkable heritage site, where the now disused ironworks can be viewed by the public today.
