A recent publication (late 2003) "Walks and rides along the Brinore
tramroad" priced at 2.20 GB pounds is now available at Blaenau Gwent
Libraries and bookshops. I had a copy from Sirhowy Ironworks after
failing to obtain a copy at Tredegar library or 'In the Pink'bookshop in
Tredegar Town! It should be available from those sources soon.
Brenda and myself attended a lecture last week, at Tredegar library, by
the excellent Peter Morgan Jones (Tredegar historian). He was so
enthusiastic in his slide show and presentation. It should have been
recorded and sold on DVD!
Peter gave our Ebbw Vale Branch of Gwent Family History Society the
lecture a good few years ago, but this was an update and with the
booklet now available makes it accessible for hikers, cyclists, or horse
riders, to venture the route. A full eight mile excursion!
The photos, maps and illustrations (Michael Blackmore) are worth the
booklet alone!
Best regards
Barrie Jones, Gwent Family History Society.
