PONTYPOOL

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 71 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
PONTYPOOL , a market town in the northern parliamentary division of
Monmouthshire
 , England, 8 m. N. of Newport, served by the
Great
  Western, London & North-Western, and
Rhymney
  railways. Pop. of urban
district
  (1901), 6126. It is beautifully situated on an acclivity above the Afon Lwyd, a tributary of the Usk. Its prosperity is due to its situation on the edge of the
great
  coal- and iron-field of
Monmouthshire
  and Glamorganshire. The earliest record of trade in iron is in 1588, but it was developed chiefly in the beginning of the 18th century by the family of Hanbury, the proprietors of Pontypool Park. Pontypool was formerly famed for its japanned goods, invented by
Thomas
  Allwood, a native of
Northampton
 , who settled in the town in the reign of Charles II., but the manufacture has long been transferred elsewhere. The town and neighbourhood contain large forges and iron mills for the manufacture of iron-
work
  and tin-
plate
 . Water communication is afforded with Newport by the Monmouthshire Canal. On the south-
east
  of Pontypool is the urban
district
  of Panteg, including Griffithstown, with a population (1901) of 7484.
