Property History

Forge Row, Cwmavon was built in 1804 to accommodate workers at the Varteg Forge which was originally located on the opposite side of the valley.

It is an exceptional example of housing built at the time of the of the first large scale Industrial Development of South Wales.

Apart from 'Stack Square' (Blaenavon) it is now the only surviving example of housing from the first phase of the Industrial Revolution in Gwent. This importance being emphasised by their Grade II * listed status on the national list of important historic buildings in 1973.

The Varteg Forge was closed in 1840 most of the properties in forge Row became vacant. By the early 1980's the Row had fallen into disrepair and were very close to being demolished, thankfully however they were rescued and restored by The British Buildings Preservation Trust.

This little row of iron workers cottages form a very important part of historic buildings conservation in Wales.
