It is a remarkably complete example of a 19th Century landscape\u201d (Extract from ICOMOS report to the World Heritage Committee November 2000). <\/p>\n<p>The site is one of the prime areas in the world where the full social, economic and technological process of industrialisation through iron and coal production can be studied and understood.

For over one hundred years, the natural landscape of Blaenavon was changed and scarred by ironmaking, coal extraction, settlement and related activities as the entire area of the World Heritage Site was turned to the demands of a single new industrial enterprise and the radical transformation of land and society which followed in its wake.<\/p>\n<p>The landscape includes the Blaenavon Ironworks dating from 1789 which is the best-preserved blast furnace of its type and period in the World. Big Pit National Coal Museum dating from the mid-19th Century is a complete coal mine and the best-preserved monument of the South Wales coalfield. The landscape exhibits numerous historic mineral workings and waste tips and tracks of some of the earliest iron railways, leading to the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, an internationally significant waterway that provided the early export route for iron and coal. Today, the Blaenavon Industrial Landscape is one of the best places in the World where the early formative years of the Industrial Revolution can be studied and understood.

Its surviving streets of workers\u2019 housing, chapels, churches, schools and the Workmen\u2019s Hall powerfully reflect the distinctive culture that developed in iron making and coal mining communities during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. <\/p>\n<p>The cultural landscape continues to reflect the whole human experience of industrialisation &#8211; capital enterprise, philanthropy and exploitation, technological innovation, the drudgery of labour, the determination of workers to establish trades unions, political parties, religious congregations, choirs and sports clubs. The choirs, bands and sports clubs established in industrial times continue to be an important part of the community and the town\u2019s cultural heritage today. Indeed the continuity of these traditions and the significance of this \u201cintangible heritage\u201d, rooted in the social development of the town, is of equal cultural significance to the physical buildings, monuments and landscape features that remain.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_fullwidth_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.whyam.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/world-heritage-youth-ambassadors-grunge-bottom-white.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;world-heritage-youth-ambassadors-grunge-bottom-white&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; z_index=&#8221;500&#8243;][\/et_pb_fullwidth_image][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_image=&#8221;http:\/\/www.whyam.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/world-heritage-youth-ambassadors-blaenavon-world-heritage-train-1.jpg&#8221; parallax=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;margin-top: -30px!important;&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;175px||175px||true|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.8.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(0,0,0,0)&#8221;][et_pb_fullwidth_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.whyam.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/world-heritage-youth-ambassadors-grunge-top-orange.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;world-heritage-youth-ambassadors-grunge-top-orange&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(0,0,0,0)&#8221; z_index=&#8221;500&#8243; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;margin-top: -20px!important;||||background: transparent!important;&#8221;][\/et_pb_fullwidth_image][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#EF781D&#8221; global_module=&#8221;3139&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_5,3_5,1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||16px|||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Our Sites<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; divider_weight=&#8221;4px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;50%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; module_class=&#8221;ds-vertical-align&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;http:\/\/www.whyam.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/world-heritage-youth-ambassadors-big-pit-blaenavon-button.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;World Heritage Youth Ambassadors Blaenavon&#8221; title_text=&#8221;World Heritage Youth Ambassadors Blaenavon&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; transform_rotate=&#8221;0deg|0deg|356deg&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||40px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset2&#8243; box_shadow_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.48)&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; module_class=&#8221;ds-vertical-align&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;26px&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Blaenavon<\/h3>\n<p>Blaenavon Industrial Landscape was inscribed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000.
