Having had two very informative visits to Blaenavon Heritage Town recently, I have decided to have yet another attempt at this Blog! Why I don't keep it up I don't know. I enjoyed Blogging for over two years, but somehow I lost the plot! Let's see if I can keep up the momentum this time.
The Heritage museum in Blaenavon is very informative and the food in the Cafe is delicious, all home made cakes and scones and freshly prepared meals at extremely competitive prices. Within walking distance is Stack Square (pictured above). 'The Coal House' series on the BBC was filmed here, but it has now been turned into a museum. The Industrial history is celebrated at this revealing site. It is one of Europe's best preserved 18th century Ironworks. We are fortunate in South East Wales to have such a legacy from the Industrial Revolution on our doorstep to study. I doubt that the people who lived through it at the time thought that though!
