  • 5. Sirhowy Ironworks
    Great Archaeological Sites in Blaenau Gwent 5. SIRHOWY IRONWORKS There were a number of ironworks in the area now covered by Blaenau Gwent County Borough, which provided all the raw materials they needed – iron ore, limestone and fuel, charcoal at first but later coal to make coke. The Sirhowy ironworks (SO14301010) are the only one where there is still something to see. The works were opened in 1778 with one blast furnace. Although it was originally blown by water power, in 1799 the owners invested in a Boulton and Watt steam engine. This gave them enough power to blow a second furnace, which started production in 1802. In the early years of the 19th century, the pig iron produced at Sirhowy was sent to the Tredegar works a little further down the valley where it was refined, until 1818 when the Sirhowy works were sold and started to send its pig iron to Ebbw Vale. A third furnace was added in 1826 and a fourth in 1839. But by the 1870s iron smelting at Sirhowy was no longer profitable, and the works finally closed in 1882. Like all ironworks in South Wales, the furnaces were built against a steep bank which enabled the ironworkers to load the charge of iron ore, limestone and coke or charcoal fuel more easily at the top of the furnace. All that is now left now are the remains of a bank of blast furnaces with the arches that would originally have linked them to the casting houses in front, and the building that originally housed the waterwheel.

Price 156) Apologies: Councillors D.W.A. Howells, A. Jones, D. Jones, T. Gregory and S. Trollope 157) Declarations of Interest. The Chair reminded Members to make their declarations as and when necessary. 158) To receive Mayor’s report, as appropriate The Mayor provided the following update since presenting her last report: Four events undertaken in one day, i.e. Gemtime, 20th anniversary; football’ Air Cadets, collection of Multiple Sclerosis box from Castle Hotel, Blaenau Gwent Otters swimming gala; Haydn deputised for the School Presentation evening on Friday in her absence. The Mayor offered apologies for absence from Sunday to Tuesday as she had a work commitment in Brussels in relation to Brexit, and would be attending a Conference in London on Friday. Unfortunately the Charity Golf Day had been rained off and no monies had been raised in respect of the Hog Roast, due to lack of ticket sales. The Race Night had raised £564.00, with some prizes being returned in support of the Appeal. The Deputy Mayor extended his thanks to the Mayor and Consort for a most pleasurable evening on the Race Night, which had run very smoothly due to the excellent organisation.
