Railways And Industry In The Sirhowy Valley Av John Hodge

This volume takes the Western Valley line from Aberbeeg to Ebbw Vale, taking in the coal and steel industry, which was served by the railway.

Covers a part of South Wales rarely dealt with, including the iconic bleak moorland Dowlais Top station in the area of South Wales where it can snow in June .

This is the first modern book produced on this former railway.

This book gives a history of the railway, coal mining and other industrial aspects of the Valleys that combine to make up the Tondu Valleys, with detailed comments on the operation of the railway, passenger and freight, and collieries within the area.
