BRYNMAWR

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 700 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BRYNMAWR , a market town of Brecknockshire, Wales, 141 M. S.E. of Brecknock and 156 m. from London by rail. Pop, of urban
district
  (1901) 6833. It is on the London & North-Western and
Rhymney
 
joint
  railway connecting
Rhymney
  and Abergavenny, being also a junction for a branch line to
Pontypool
  via Blaenavon, and the terminus of the
Great
  Western line from
Newport
  via Nantyglo. The town owes its origin to the development during the first half of the 19th
century
  of iron-works at the upper ends of the valleys that converge in its neighbourhood, its site being previously known as Waun Helygen (Willow-tree Common). The Nantyglo ironworks afford occupation to large numbers of the inhabitants of Brynmawr. Both coal and iron ore were formerly worked, but the coal is exhausted and the ore unsuitable for
modern
  processes. Brynmawr was formed into an ecclesiastical parish in 1875 out of portions of the civil parishes of
Llanelly
  and Llangattock. In 1894 this was formed into an urban
district
 , which was enlarged in loco by the addition of a portion of the parish of Aberystruth in
Monmouthshire
 , the whole being at the same time consolidated into a civil parish.
