Our Industrial Heritage
–
Iron, Coal Iron, Steel And Tinplate Coal

The large ironworks at Rogerstone, Pontymister, and Abercarn were the very visible presence of the heavy industry in the valley with smaller forges and foundries making their own contribution to Industrial Risca.

Coal, Clay And Lead Mines

With deep mines at Blackvein, North Risca, and Abercarn plus dozens of small levels on both sides of the valley, Risca’s mining industry also played an essential part in the local economy.
