The History
Period
Hill’s Tram Road, the primitive railway built by Thomas Hill II in the years after he began to manage Blaenavon Ironworks in 1815, provides many insights into an important period of technological development, as well as evidence of the history of the Blaenavon Company.

Building
Aaron Brute’s bridge was first built in 1812 by (as you might expect) local preacher Aaron Brute as a means of transporting the valuable minerals he found to the ironworks. As one of the oldest cast iron bridges in Britain and, therefore, the world, it holds an important place in the evolution of Blaenavon as a powerhouse of the industrial revolution.
