From Dowlais Top and the ironworks to Pennydarren Park and the steamed pies at Basini's Café, this guidebook is an enthralling look at one of the most important small towns in Britain--Merthyr. Mixing history, myth, and personal recollections, the commentary points out the ancient sites of a Roman fort and a Norman castle and tours the factories, slums, and charming Victorian buildings that are the legacy of the Industrial Revolution. The town's efforts to carve out a new, postindustrial identity for itself are also discussed.
