Exploring the World Heritage Site at Blaenavon. Wide, bleak mountainsides carry scars from two hundred years of iron and coal workings; the town is home to the most important Iron Works and the Big Pit mining museum as well as being a classic example of a nineteenth-century valley head development, replete with chapels, cafés and a workmen's hall.
Jan Morris provides a poetic introduction telling of the time that ‘ Wales stood flamboyantly at the vortex of the world.’
‘The dominant image of Blaenavon is diffuse, even abstract, a matter of iron, brick, coal-dust, human muscle and a terrific landscape: it is this powerful but intangible presence that Chris Morris’s moving tribute commemorates.’
– Jan Morris
