Today kicks off the start of #WalesNatureWeek 2021. The landscape of The #Valleys is breathtakingly magnificent and it is quite remarkable that #nature is reclaiming the landscape from the scars of heavy industry which once dominated the region. bit.ly/3c2MCqS

Wrought iron was supplied by the nearby Blaenavon Wrought Iron Company, whilst casting took place in Falkirk. Cast iron was transported from Falkirk to Newport docks via sea, then transported by canal or rail to site.

It’s raining hard. My Twitter remains a bit meh. So how about some industrial welsh history that covers canals and rail.😁 Crumlin viaduct build, The Mon&Brec canal was vital in the build for iron supply (wrought from blaenavon then cast in Falkirk by sea!!) 1/2 #canals #history
