LOCAL HISTORY - YNYSCEDWYN IRONWORKS, GLANRHYD
If you’ve walked through Glanrhyd, you’ve definitely seen the iconic stone arches and chimney stack standing proudly in the Heritage Park. These ruins are the heart of Ystradgynlais’s industrial past! ⚒️✨

It was right here on February 5, 1837, that George Crane and David Thomas changed global history. They successfully used local anthracite coal to smelt iron, a massive breakthrough that supercharged the Industrial Revolution. David Thomas later took this technique to America, sparking the US iron industry!

The soaring arches you see today were actually built in 1872 for a planned steel mill that was never finished. Iron forged here was used to make the unique supporting pillars inside our very own St Cynog’s Church.
