Blaenavon Ironworks, a significant historical and industrial site, was established in 1789 in Blaenavon, Wales. The ironworks played a crucial role in the Industrial Revolution, contributing to the rapid development of iron production techniques and the broader industrial landscape of the 18th and 19th centuries. The site is notable for its pioneering use of the blast furnace, which allowed for the mass production of iron and significantly boosted the efficiency and output of iron manufacturing.

The Blaenavon Ironworks were founded by Thomas Hill, Thomas Hopkins, and Benjamin Pratt, who recognized the area's rich deposits of iron ore, coal, and limestone—essential materials for iron production. The ironworks quickly became one of the largest and most productive in the world, attracting workers and their families from across the region and beyond. This influx of labor led to the growth of the town of Blaenavon, which developed alongside the ironworks to accommodate the burgeoning workforce.

The site includes a range of preserved structures and machinery that offer a glimpse into the industrial processes of the time. Key features include the blast furnaces, casting houses, and the water balance tower, which was used to lift wagons of raw materials to the top of the furnaces. The ironworks also housed workers' cottages, a company shop, and other facilities that illustrate the daily lives of the workers and their families.

In recognition of its historical and cultural significance, Blaenavon Ironworks was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000, as part of the Blaenavon Industrial Landscape. Today, the site is managed by Cadw, the historic environment service of the Welsh Government, and serves as a museum and educational resource, offering visitors a chance to explore the rich industrial heritage of the region. Through guided tours, interactive exhibits, and educational programs, Blaenavon Ironworks continues to shed light on the profound impact of the Industrial Revolution on society and the environment.
