Bedford Ironworks, Cefn Cribwr
25 Sep 10.45 & 2.15
Discover the hidden industrial treasures of Cefn Cribwr. This guided
walk will take you back to the 1780’s when Cefn was launched into the
industrial Revolution with the arrival of an eccentric Midlander, John
Bedford, who built his ironworks on the Waun. Next you will walk
along the route of a 19th century horse drawn tramroad which leads to
the busiest part of Cefn at this time, the Cwsc. Here over 600 men were
employed in Cefn Slip Colliery and in 1898 a railway junction was
formed here and a Signal Box built, which now houses an
exhibition based upon the extensive industries of the area. You will
have an opportunity to view the exhibition whilst enjoying a cup of tea
or coffee. LOC CF32 0BW. Meet at the Ironworks carpark.
