About Fencing in Merthyr Tydfil
Merthyr Tydfil in Wales transformed from a small rural village into what became known as the iron capital of the world during the 18th and 19th centuries, driven by rich local deposits of iron ore, coal and limestone alongside abundant water power from the surrounding mountains and timber from nearby forests for charcoal production. The Glamorganshire Canal, built to move iron and coal out of the town, helped fuel the growth of major works including the Dowlais, Cyfarthfa, Plymouth and Penydarren ironworks, which together formed the greatest concentration of iron production anywhere in the world at their peak. The scale of this growth was extraordinary, with the town's population rising from 7,700 in 1801 to 22,000 by 1831 and reaching 46,000 by 1851, making Merthyr Tydfil by far the largest town in Wales during this period. By the 1820s the town's ironworks were producing around 40 per cent of all of Britain's iron exports, a dominance that shaped the town's identity for generations.
