Blaenavon Ironworks
Blaenavon Ironworks Review
Dating from 1789, Blaenavon Ironworks is a museum that traces the entire process of iron production in the late 18th century. Well-preserved blast furnaces, a water-balance lift used to transport materials to higher ground, and a terraced row of workers' cottages show how the business operated.
