I think it's important to record our history. If google fetches it up, ok. If not we're d**ned!

If you go to the web site www.data-wales.co.uk/guest it gives information of Sir Joshua Guest manager of the Dowlais steel works. Sir Joshua married Lady Charlotte, (nee Bertie)that was born of an Earl. Lady Charlotte Guest was best known for her translation of the welsh mabinogion. |

That is a great shame; I was told that GKN still looked after the Building, if that is not the case, then the upkeep must be expensive.
I remember going there with Colin Tasker who’s father was the works manager in my early teens, they would dare not serve him, good times.
