Pontardawe and the American connection.

Return to top

These two extracts below from "The History of Pontardawe" by John Henry Davies, might be of general interest as they show an interesting "American connection" to the place. the book itself has been summarised on A history of Caegurwen

Firstly from a section concerning the Ynysgedwyn Iron Works which is in the upper part of the Tawe Valley;

"In 1823 George Crane of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, took the Ynysgedwyn Iron Works. During his time, David Thomas and Crane introduced J. Beaumont Neilson's hot blast method. Crane was a short, active and energetic man, and very enterprising in business affairs.In those days, public houses opened on Sundays, and as he was a strict sabbatarian and a terror to drunkards, he visited focal public houses on Sundays, and woe betide the man he found there. Sometimes he stopped the works while he held a religious service in the carpenter's shop. He kept David Thomas as manager of the coal and iron-ore mines and the iron works. In 1828, J. B. Neilson patented a hot blast method of heating the furnace. When David Thomas heard of this in 1836, he travelled to Scotland to see the hot blast method in operation. He decided this would be a success with anthracite, so obtained a licence from Nielson and employed an expert mechanic on heating ovens to construct them at Ynysgedwyn.

On February 5, 1837, the hot blast furnace using anthracite was blown in. This discovery was also claimed by George Crane, who employed David Thomas as steward. Crane read a paper on "The Smelting of Iron with Anthracite Coal " at the Liverpool Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1837. The success of the experiment in the hot air with anthracite was so satisfactory in the quantity and quality of iron produced, the cheapness of the process, that he changed the three cold furnaces using coke from bituminous coal to hot blast furnaces using anthracite. Probably Crane and Thomas were jointly responsible for the application of Neilson's patent to anthracite. A patent for the hot blast was taken out by Crane for the use of anthracite in 1836. To show the superior strength of the iron made with anthracite coal alone, a pig-iron was broken by one of Crane's men. The man struck fifty-eight blows with a sledge hammer about 20lbs. in weight, but was unable to break it. The strongest pig-iron made in the ordinary way was broken by three to six blows. The works expanded and, before Crane's death in 1846, he controlled not only seven furnaces. but also several collieries and auxiliary industries, which employed more than a thousand workmen.

News of the successful process reached America, and the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company sent Mr. Hazard, their Colliery Director, across the Atlantic to Ynysgedwyn to see it. Before his arrival, David Thomas, the steward, had gone to Defynnog to superintend the construction of a tramway from Defynnog to Ynysgedwyn. Mr. Crane drove Mr. Hazard a distance of twelve miles, and he strongly recommended David Thomas as the only man who could help him to erect and use both hot blast anthracite furnaces. David Thomas accepted a five-years engagement to go to the United States of America. When he and his wife arrived in New York City in June 1839, Mr. Thomas was laid up with fever, and during his illness, Mrs. Thomas found it difficult because she neither spoke nor understood a word if English and, consequently, was unable to understand the directions of her husband's medical attendant. He fortunately recovered. David Thomas organised the Crane Iron Company of Catasangue, U.S.A., constructed six new furnaces and had the first run of iron on July 4th,1840, with great success. In 1854, he formed at the Hoken-danqua on the Lehigh River, the Thomas Iron Company, and in 1855 relinquished the superintendence of the Crane Iron Company in order to devote his full time to his own works. David Thomas became a director of many ironworks, coalmines and railways, but unsuccessfully contested an election as a Republican candidate for Congress in 1866. He occupied the chair as president of the Ironmasters' Convention in Philadelphia in 1874. Mr. and Mrs. D. Thomas celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary, and he died just before reaching the age of 88 years.

And from a section concerning Arthur Gilbertson, one of a well known local industrialist family.

"In 1893, there were ten tinplate mills at Gilbertson's Works but owing to the McKinley tariff put on tinplates being imported to America, Gilbertson abandoned the manufacture of tinplate temporarily, and he substituted sheet mills and galvanizing equipment . Politics in America affected the living of Pontardawe tinplate workers. America imported large quantities of tin-sheets from South West Wales, so much so that Congressman McKinley, who later became President of the United States called for a tariff duty on imported tin-plate. "It is plain that the Welsh people ", said McKinley, "have a peculiar aptitude for this manufacture as to make successful production impossible" . This McKinley tariff came into operation on July 1, 1891, when this barrier brought lean times at Pontardawe Tinplate Works. Arthur Gilbertson was a very resourceful and enterprising man His "Comet" brand of galvanised sheets was well known throughout the world, particularly in America and Japan. Some years before his death he received an important order for terne plates to roof the White House, the residence in Washington, D.C., of the President of the United States of America. These plates were made under the patented process known as G.O.M. (Gilbertson's Own Method). Arthur Gilbertson's interests were not confined to Pontardawe. He was associated with the building of the Port Talbot Steel Works, which was owned later by Baldwins Ltd., and afterwards by the Steel Company of Wales"
