Big Pit is a coal mine sunk by the Blaenavon Company about No 984 1860 which operated until 1980. On the hills north of Blaenavon, extensive evidence can be seen of the methods used to extract iron ore and coal during the first decades of the operation of the ironworks, together with the quarries for limestone. Linking the Ironworks, the ore workings, the quarries, and the wharves on the Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal is a network of daringly engineered Identification primitive railways, constructed at a time of imaginative innovation in railway technology.

  • Monmouthshire (VC35) Rare Plant Register
    Monmouthshire (VC35) Rare Plant Register April 2019 Steph Tyler Elsa Wood Monmouthshire County Rare Plant Register Stephanie J. Tyler Elsa Wood Text editing Barbara Brown April 2019 Cover: Orobanche minor – Common Broomrape or Gorfanhadlen. Image: Elsa Wood Monmouthshire Rare Plant Register 2019 MONMOUTHSHIRE VICE-COUNTY 35 RARE PLANT REGISTER This edition updates the first Rare Plant Register produced by Trevor Evans (Evans 2007). Some additional species have been included whereas others have been removed. The reasons for these changes are given below. Rare and Scarce species In the RPR by Evans (2007) there are several species which have since been found to be more widespread in vc35 than previously thought. These, Ranunculus lingua Greater Spearwort ( widely planted), Iris foetidissima Stinking Iris, Echium vulgare Viper’s Bugloss, Chrysosplenium alternifolium Alternate-leaved Golden Saxifrage, Crepis biennis Rough Hawk’s-beard, Myriophyllum spicatum Spiked Water-milfoil , Samolus valerandi Brookweed, Frangula alnus Alder Buckthorn, Poa angustifolia Narrow-leaved Meadow-grass, Puccinellia distans Reflexed Saltmarsh Grass and Populus nigra ssp.betulifolia Black Poplar are no longer included in this revised RPR as occur at more than 10 sites. Moreover, Anacamptis pryamidalis Pyramidal Orchid occurs at almost 40 sites. The revised RPR recognises locally rare species, both Natives and Archaeophyes, as those that are found in up to three sites in VC35 and locally scarce species which occur in up to 10 sites. Several have been moved from locally rare to locally scarce e.g. Anthemis cotula. Species such as Littorella uniflora Shoreweed with 11 records are therefore not included. Some other species, whilst being recorded at more than 10 sites, are considered under threat in a GB or Welsh context and therefore these have been included in this Register.

  • Learning Box a Teacher’S Resource Learning at the Blaenavon World Heritage Centre and Blaenavon Ironworks
    LEARNING BOX A TEACHER’S RESOURCE LEARNING AT THE BLAENAVON WORLD HERITAGE CENTRE AND BLAENAVON IRONWORKS Blaenavon’s Industrial landscape became a World Heritage Site in December 2000. It is a landscape shaped by human hand, dating from the early days of the Industrial Revolution - a significant stage in human evolution, when the iron and coal industries of South Wales were of global importance. The Blaenavon Industrial Landscape is an important place of study of the Industrial Revolution and is an ideal venue for schools studying changes in people’s daily lives in the 19th century and changes that happened in Wales, Britain and the wider world between 1760 and 1914. The Blaenavon Industrial Landscape is also an excellent case-study for students of urban decline and economic regeneration. The Blaenavon World Heritage Site now boasts three visitor attractions which offer full time, dedicated educational services to schools, colleges and adult learners – Blaenavon World Heritage Centre, Blaenavon Ironworks and Big Pit: National Coal Museum. The Blaenavon World Heritage Centre was established to provide a focal reference point to the area’s rich industrial legacy, telling the story of the people who have shaped this landscape from the earliest days of the Industrial Revolution to the present day using a range of media including film, audio, graphics and interactive displays. 2 LEARNING BOX A TEACHER’S RESOURCE THE LEARNING BOX The Learning Box has been devised by Torfaen County Borough Council in collaboration with Cadw who are responsible for Blaenavon Ironworks. It consists of a range of educational resources suitable for all key stages covering the curriculum subjects of history, geography and design & technology that will provide structure for visits to key sites and support for preparatory and follow-up classroom studies.
