  • 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.

  • Valleys Taskforce – Pilots
    Valleys Taskforce – Pilots Overview Pilots will be delivered in three valleys communities which will look at how services and local delivery can be better integrated. The pilots provide an opportunity to develop a model for change which will be scalable and deliverable in other valleys communities. Evidence suggests there is currently a “disconnect” between the perceptions and expectations of people living in the valleys and what’s being delivered locally in relation to investment and local services. The pilots also offer an opportunity to address this disconnect – through a focus on genuine engagement to identify local priorities and ways of going forward. They will focus on the following key areas: Engaging with communities to identify local priorities. Developing innovative approaches to the provision of public services that directly reflect local need. The delivery of services which are well used and well integrated with their local communities. Building momentum and signalling the importance of working collaboratively to address local priorities. Giving permission and encouragement to partners and front-line staff to work differently. Building strong and trusting relationships between organisations. Sustaining momentum and buy-in from all those involved. Communicating a compelling vision and narrative for change. Furthermore, there are opportunities explore the alignment of a number of initiatives taking place across the valleys, such as Resilient Communities Early Adaptors, Childcare Pilots, Children Zones/ ACEs Hubs and the All Age Employability Pilots. Selection of pilots Three areas have been identified for the location of the taskforce pilots across a geographical spread: Llanhilleth, Blaenau Gwent: Located near Crumlin and Six Bells.
