About Merthyr Tydfil

  • Merthyr Tydfil was the iron capital of the world in the early 19th century — a town that produced more iron than any other place on earth at the height of the Industrial Revolution, and that was the largest town in Wales for much of the 19th century. The four great ironworks — Cyfarthfa, Dowlais, Plymouth, and Penydarren — employed tens of thousands of workers and produced the iron rails that were used to build railways across the world. The Penydarren Ironworks was the site of the world's first steam locomotive journey in 1804, when Richard Trevithick's locomotive hauled a load of iron along a tramway — a demonstration that steam traction was practical for industrial use and a precursor to the railway age.
  • Cyfarthfa Castle, the Gothic Revival mansion built by the ironmaster William Crawshay II in 1825 overlooking his ironworks, is one of the most extraordinary buildings in Wales — a building that combined the appearance of a medieval castle with the comfort and luxury of a Victorian country house, and that was intended to demonstrate the wealth and power of the Crawshay family. The castle, which is now a museum and art gallery, tells the story of the iron industry and the Crawshay family, and it preserves a collection of art and industrial artefacts that gives a vivid picture of life in industrial Merthyr Tydfil.
  • Joseph Parry, the composer who wrote the opera Blodwen — the first opera to be composed in the Welsh language — was born in Merthyr Tydfil in 1841 and is one of the most important figures in the history of Welsh music. Parry's hymn tune Aberystwyth, which is sung to the words 'Jesu, Lover of My Soul', is one of the most beloved hymn tunes in the Welsh tradition, and his connection with Merthyr Tydfil is commemorated by a plaque on the house where he was born. Parry's career, which took him from the ironworks of Merthyr Tydfil to the music academies of London and America, is one of the most remarkable stories of self-improvement and artistic achievement in Victorian Wales.
