  • The Blaenavon Ironmasters
    THE BLAENAVON IRONMASTERS The industrial revolution would never have occurred if it were not for the risks and innovation of entrepreneurs. In south Wales, during the late eighteenth century, ironmasters set up a string of new ironworks, making the region the most important iron-producing region in the world. The labouring classes undeniably played a hugely significant role in the industrialisation process but it was the capital and experience of businessmen that made the industrial revolution a success. This article examines the history of the Blaenavon ironmasters and how they used their experience and their influence to create the town of Blaenavon. The Experience of the Blaenavon Ironmasters The leases for the area of Blaenavon, known as ‘Lord Abergavenny’s Hills’, were not renewed during the 1780s. The West Midlands industrialist, Thomas Hill (1736-1824), and his partners, Thomas Hopkins (d.1793) and Benjamin Pratt (1742-1794), seized the opportunity to invest in the Blaenavon site, which they knew was rich in mineral resources. The businessmen invested some £40,000 into the ironworks project and erected three blast furnaces. It was an incredibly risky venture but the three men were confident that the enterprise would be a large-scale success and that their investment would provide considerable returns. The experience that all three men had acquired in iron-making, business and banking, proved invaluable in numerous ways. Family Background Thomas Hill, the leading partner, came from a very wealthy industrial background. He was a successful Worcestershire banker and ran Wollaston slitting mill. Hill had also inherited a considerable fortune from his father, Waldron Hill (1706-88), and his uncle, Thomas Hill (1711-82), who were successful glassmakers at Coalbournhill, Stourbridge.

  • Arvin Meritor Site, Grange Road, Cwmbran
    The comprehensive development of the Arvin Meritor Site, Grange Road, Cwmbran Design, Access and Sustainability Statement February 2011 This Design, Access and Sustainability Statement sets out a vision for the future expansion of Cwmbran Town Centre, with the aim of securing its long-term success within the Sub-Region. It explains how the development of the Eastern Strip might contribute to this objective by creating a new Gateway to the north-east of the Town Centre, comprising a mix of new retail, office, hotel and manufacturing uses. It also illustrates how westerly connections to the Town Centre would be provided with new public space and how existing assets such as Llantarnam Grange and the attendant under-utilised Green Corridor along St David’s Road could be imaginatively incorporated. Improved linkages to public transport nodes will also be provided.
