A short history

http://www.westsomersetmineralrailway.org.uk/a-short-history-of

Iron ore has been mined intermittently on the Brendon Hills for the past two thousand years, but it was not until the 1850s that the iron mines became part of a significant industrial enterprise. This was as a result of the Ebbw Vale Company, established sixty years earlier, developing the mines. The following pages can only provide a brief overview of the history, pick up some of the themes of the Mineral Line and give background to the structures that have survived to bear witness to this history.
