Tredegar Iron and Coal Company : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tredegar Iron and Coal Company Tredegar Iron and Coal Company was a major maker of iron in Tredegar, Wales, which due to its need for coke became a major developer of coal mines and particularly the Sirhowy Valley of South Wales. It is most closely associated with the Industrial Revolution and coal mining in the South Wales Valleys. ==Background== In 1778 an iron furnace was built in the upper Sirhowy Valley by Thomas Atkinson and William Barrow, who came to the area from London.〔"A look at Old Tredegar in photographs" Volume 1 Philip Prosser Old Bakehouse Publications 1990〕 Fuel was needed for the furnace so men were employed to dig coal at Bryn Bach and Nantybwch, the first small scale coal mining operation in the area. The furnace failed in 1794, and hence also the business.
