#191 Jonny Owen on Industrial Wales (Part 1)

This week we’re joined by friend of the show, producer, writer and actor (and proud Welshman), Jonny Owen to discuss the golden age of Industrial Revolution era Wales!

We’ll chat copper in Swansea, the iron town of Merthyr Tydfil, and the sheer volume of steam coal dug out of the Cynon Valley, the Rhondda Valley and the Taff Valley.
