Nantyglo history
Nantyglo Ironworks
Nantyglo was one of the most important iron producing centres in the world. At their height c.1844 the Baileys employed 3,000 men and 500 women and children in their ironworks and coal mining operation.
Round towers
After the Battle of Waterloo and the final defeat of Napoleon there was a general slump in iron manufacture. Nantyglo was the only ironworks which actually increased its exports. Fearful of unrest (which did not eventuate) Matthew Wayne and Joseph Bailey had built two fortified towers.
Link with Chartism 1839
Zephaniah Williams (1795–1874) was a Master Collier and innkeeper. He led a large column of men from the Nantyglo area to march south on the Westgate Hotel, Newport, site of what is sometimes regarded as the greatest armed rebellion in 19th century Britain. For his part in the 1839 Chartist Newport Rising he was convicted and deported to Australia.
