984 GB - Blaenavon Industrial Landscape (2000)

Brief Description

"The area around Blaenavon is evidence of the pre-eminence of South Wales as the world's major producer of iron and coal in the 19th century. All the necessary elements can still be seen - coal and ore mines, quarries, a primitive railway system, furnaces, workers' homes, and the social infrastructure of their community."

卡莱纳冯工业区景观
"卡莱纳冯周围地区证明了在19世纪,南部威尔士是世界上主要的铁和煤的生产地。今天,人们还可以看到所有必要的证据:煤矿和矿石矿、采石场、一个原始铁路系统、炉膛、工人的家和他们社区的社会基础结构。"
