Its lovely to see the the old stone and brick that made Merthyr Tydfil the capital of the world for making Iron over a century ago.

So fascinating, thr Crawshaw family built an empire in their time and Cyfarthfa Castle was supplied with iron for their creature comforts. There is a guide produced in the Castle detailing the Crawshaw family's wealth and status in the community. There are many other areas in relation to the Crawshaw family. The Pandy clock has three faces, which was designed to ensure the workers at the Castle could not see the time. There is also evidence that the Crawshaw family used Cyfarthfa leat to transport materials and slat from the Gurnos Quarry to the Castle. Fascinating stuff, the brochure or guide is very informative and an interesting reflection on the past.
