191 page book by Jeremy Knight detailing developments in Blaenavon prior to the Industrial Revolution all the way through to Post-War industrial Blaenavon.

About Blaenavon was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. The seven square miles of industiral landscape and the town itself are 'an outstanding and remarkably complete example of a 19th- century industrial landscape', with blast furnaces, coal and iron ore mines, quarries, railways and the houses of workers, dating from a time when South Wales was the world's largest producer of iron and coal.
