Pontardawe history
The name, which translates to “bridge on the Tawe”, first appears on a map in 1729. By 1796, the Swansea Canal had connected Pontardawe with Swansea Docks. The Gilbertson family were the most important proprietors in the town, manufacturing iron, steel and tinplate. From 1861 until 1964, a railway line connected the town with the rest of the valley and further afield. There was also significant coal mining in the area and pottery at Ynysmeudwy.
