caption_attribution_description: English: Yniscedwyn iron works With the many coal mines in the surrounding area, it was only natural for the heavy industry of metal working to go hand in hand. Here we see the remains of the victorian Yniscedwyn iron works, which made use of the revolutionary hot blast process. The arches and chimney stack are all that remain today of a large factory that sprawled across this area.

In the 1820s, with the arrival of George Crane, production was expanded. Crane was the first ironmaster who successfully tried anthracite to a blast furnace in 1837.
  In 1837, London bankers, Charles Price and Joseph Marryat, invested in the Ynyscedwyn Ironworks.
