My Dad worked there. He said the camaraderie was like nowhere else, and he missed the place when it went. He despises Thatcher for her part in its closure.

My late Dad Ron Lovell worked here, I remember him taking me with him on a few occasions when I was little to pick up his wages with him from the office

Father in law worked at Ebbw Vale. Talks about it all the time. He was offered something in SA but chose not to.
