Clydach Ironworks
Just about a 15 minute drive from our holiday cottage in Govilon, Wales, we thought it might be interesting to search out some local history. We found this site linked to a fine walk.
‘Established in the late 18th Century near the site of an earlier works and forge, Clydach Ironworks continued operating until 1884 employing at that time 1350 men. In 1986 the site was excavated and partially restored but it was subsequently abandoned. The exposed remains include three furnaces and one charging house, together with the pit for a 12.8m diameter cast-iron water-wheel. The air blast for the original furnaces 1 and 2 was provided by the waterwheel; air for furnaces 3 and 4 being provided by a steam engine.
Sited in a beautiful location rich in industrial archaeology, tramroads and pathways, the nearby beech woodlands are some of the oldest in Wales. ‘
Enjoy full screen.

This definitely needs to be seen large..............the detail is amazing and the ruins are very well preserved considering how long they've been abandoned. I hope the site gets protected for future generations. The folks who worked in these sorts of places must have been tough and resilient.
A cracking shot my friend,..,!!
Auch der Vorläufer der alten Sayner Hütte war einst eine noch ältere Hütte. Sie schmolzen das Siegerländer Eisenerz bekannt wegen seines Mangangehaltes und der damit verbundenen Festigkeit.
Schöne Grüße und einen guten Abend
