Cwmbran's Industrial Tapestry and Control Gear's Modern Role
Cwmbran, though officially founded as a new town in 1949, boasts a rich historical tapestry that stretches back centuries. The 18th Century saw the Blewitt family emerge as pivotal figures in the industrialisation of Cwmbran. It was during this era that the foundations for brick making, lime kilns, iron ore mining, quarrying, and coal mining were laid.
To facilitate the efficient transportation of these goods, a canal was constructed, linking Cwmbran to the bustling docks at Newport. The subsequent 19th and 20th Centuries witnessed Cwmbran at the heart of intense industrial development. This growth spurred the creation of the Monmouthshire Canal and the Newport and Pontypool railway, further enhancing the area’s connectivity and industrial prowess.
While much of this rich industrial heritage has faded with time, the locations of these historical landmarks have given rise to modern light industrial estates. In this contemporary landscape, Control Gear plays a pivotal role, ensuring that businesses, both old and new, have access to the best air compressor equipment and services, bridging the gap between Cwmbran’s storied past and its promising future.
