Ebbw Valley, in the heart of Gwent, South Wales, once home to bustling coal mines like Michael Foot's Marine Colliery in Cwm and Victoria Colliery in Ebbw Vale. The industrious spirit of the region is captured in Iestyn Thomas's painting "Tredegar Park from the Ebbw Bridge," depicting the picturesque scene of the valley from the bridge. Amidst the hustle and bustle, a young boy pushes his bicycle up a steep hill, a common challenge for locals. Leisure time brought joy too, as seen in a young girl roller-skating past the Sirhowy Valley Walk sign. Yet, the region's history was not just about coal and industry. The Scout Camp in Brynbach provided opportunities for youth development, while recruitment posters for the British Military served as a reminder of the area's patriotic spirit. Through its rich history, Ebbw Valley continues to embody the resilience and determination of its people.
