The Ebbw Vale (Steel, Iron and Coal) Company records, 1791-1936; the Ebbw Vale Workmen's Medical Society records, 1873-1971

The founding of the Ebbw Vale Ironworks in 1778 had rapidly transformed the Ebbw Fawr valley. It was the first in the country to integrate both iron and steel production. In 1866, the Ebbw Vale Company Ltd. was reorganised as the Ebbw Vale Steel, Iron and Coal Company Ltd. The steelworks was closed and demolished in 1970. Part of the land was landscaped to house the 1992 Garden Festival of Wales. The site is now a successful retail park
