In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Bryn Mawr like this:
BRYNMAWR, a large seat of iron-works, on the northern border of Monmouth; on the Merthyr and Abergavenny railway, in the vicinity of Nantyglo. It has a post office‡ under Tredegar, a r. station, an inn, a church, and several chapels. A railway from it to Blaenavon was authorised in 1866.
Bryn Mawr is now part of BLAENAU GWENT District. Click here for graphs and data of how BLAENAU GWENT has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Bryn Mawr itself, go to Statistics.
