History

Dated 1818, erected as boundary stone for Sirhowy Ironworks during or following an acrimonious dispute, when the lease of the Ironworks, held by the Tredegar Iron Company fell in, the site being immediately purchased by John Harford, co-partner of the Ebbw Vale Iron Company, without the knowledge of the leaseholders. The Tredegar Iron Company refused the terms of a new lease from Harford, and stripped all moveable plant from the site before the new owners took possession, eventually incurring a fine of £6000. A similar stone has been resited at Bedwellty House.

Exterior

Small stone with rounded head, set in pavement against railings. Inscription reads ‘S 1818’, referring to the Sirhowy Works.
