- cyfartha ironworks history pictures.Portions of the enormous complex that formed the Cyfarthfa works remain intact today, including six of the original blast furnaces.
I took a look inside , up and around and its a pleasant walk and not dangerous at all.
a must see if your into places that changed the world we live.
Very haunting and moving music too. Great work Jamie. Yes we live in a very special place
My great grandfather worked in Cyfarthfa steelworks after it was bought by GKN. Thank you very much for showing this as I have never been there.
Thanks abbdullah for some wonderful music.my father was from cefn coed my family goes back to 1810.
Amazing place, like a cathedral underneath the big arch, sad to see it so derelict, we need to look after whats left, preserve, protect it. Lovely film, thank you!
My Grandfather was an Iron puddler there.
Not many people can say they went to school in a castle. I did exactly that!
Merthyr reminds me of where of I was brought up. South Wales Valley mining community tht was founded on iron making in the 19th century
Got the castle on my stomach
Thanks very much for going to the trouble of filming this, I recently saw this place on a bbc series about the river Taff and really want to visit the place now! many thanks.
this family changed the world I just want to share a video I made about beautiful and historical my area is.
Enjoyed the video, very interesting and informative.
Wales is full of long forgotten industrial gems, thank you for showing us Cyfarthfa. Often when I'm at similar places, I can often feel the spirits of the men who once worked there. Very moving places.
Wales as a nation needs to embrace it's past and use it to propel its self into the future with pride.
Jay RT yes I agree when looking for historical places I find myself looking through the eyes of the people that worked or lived in those times.
jammie rees I found your video to be absolutely amazing. You have a talent. I wish I knew how to create someting this wonderful. The sounds of work, and the workers are echoing throughout this video for me as well. Thank you for sharing this. Would you mind if I too were to share it? I loved this!
Karen Cokenour your very welcome our history is your history I was wondering if you could tell me a little about the history of where you live.
jammie rees
Fort worth, Texas along the Chisholm Trail en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chisholm_Trail
This will tell some more: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chisholm_Trail
We live off of the last fork on the NW side, just out of town.
They do a reenactment now of this event every year in October, and they ride by our house. We like to sit on the porch and wave and watch. There is also an opportunity to join in and ride the trail with your own horse (I don't have a horse). There are covered wagons, buckboards, donkeys, and riding cowboys. I think one was made up to be a gypsy's fortune teller. Another wagon was like that of a snake oil (a fix it all elixir) salesman's wagon. There is the clip clopping of horses, the sounds of wooden wheels on the pavement, as our roads are no longer dirt. Occationally someone will even crack a whip.
There are no longer any cattle on these runs. However, they do take eight longhorn cattle through half of a mile walk right down in town once, at the same time every day. This is done where the end of the Chisholm trail is in the stockyards. The stockyards are where the cattle are bought and sold. Old cows were sold for slatter and new calfs and bulls were driven back along the trail to the various ranches to be raised.
