Blaenavon Iron Works | United Kingdom



Postcard
The area around Blaenavon is evidence of the pre-eminence of South Wales as the world's major producer of iron and coal in the 19th century. All the necessary elements can still be seen - coal and ore mines, quarries, a primitive railway system, furnaces, workers' homes, and the social infrastructure of their community.

Blaenavon Industrial Landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
