Tredegar, Monmouthshire

Tredegar is a town situated on the Sirhowy River in north-western Monmouthshire. The town became an early centre of the Industrial Revolution. Bedwellty House was built in 1818 as a home for Samuel Homfray, whose Iron and Coal Works were the main local employers for much of the 19th century. One of Tredegar's main attributes is the Town Clock - dominating the southern part of the town centre. The town is within the council area of Blaenau Gwent.
