Download or read book Merthyr the Crucible of Modern Wales written by Joe England and published by Parthian. This book was released on 2020-11 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of the nineteenth century Merthyr Tydfil was the largest urban settlement Wales had ever seen. Merthyr, The Crucible of Modern Wales, looks at Merthyr's rise to prominence and how it foretold the economic and social transformation of Welsh history. It was Merthyr, from the armed rising of 1831 to the electoral radicalism of 1868 and 1900, which led the way towards democracy and civic betterment in the teeth of material degradation and high-handed repression. This volume brings the whole epic history of Merthyr, from 1760 to 1912, into the focus of a fresh and utterly convincing perspective. For Modern Wales, see Merthyr, in a book which is a triumph of readability and intellectual passion.

Download or read book The Merthyr Rising written by Gwyn A. Williams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-05 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1978, examines the independent political action by the thousands of working people in the town of Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. After a mass rally on the hills above the town, thousands of workers under a reg flag broke into insurrection – a detachment of Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders marched into the town to restore order. The rebels repulsed the soldiers and held the town, with at least two dozen workers killed. Within weeks of the Rising, trade unions began to appear in South Wales, and this book argues that these events were central to the emergence of a Welsh working class.

Download or read book Merthyr Tydfil Through Time written by Carolyn Jacob and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Merthyr Tydfil, once 'Iron Capital of the World', has had a long and tumultuous history; one of the birthplaces of the Industrial Revolution, it was to be dominated initially by four massive ironworks and later by mighty Dowlais Steelworks. Industry and the mines and collieries of two centuries of mineral extraction have left their mark not only on the beautiful landscape of the Taff Valley but on the hearts of and minds of the people. Crucible of religious dissent and radicalism, Merthyr was the first Welsh town to forge a meaningful labour movement, and this book is filled with nearly 200 images, most never previously published, which capture the wide range of life and activity in the borough. A strong emphasis is placed on the people of the area, at work, at rest and play, with the captions helping to unlock both their stories and the events and everyday incidents of life in this continually fascinating and evolving community.
