During its development and at the time that the south Wales iron
industry was at its most successful the only way (other than by
personal contact) in which contact between the different branches
of the industry could be maintained was by letter. Thus the postal
service - both the General Post Office and a multiplicity of
private posts - made a vital contribution to the success of the
industry which so far has received little attention. This work
traces the development of the postal service in the south Wales
valleys from its primitive state in the mid-18th century to what
had become a recognisably modern postal service a hundred years
later. It is based on information derived from the archives of the
Post Office itself and of the various iron companies, from
contemporary newspapers and from oral tradition recorded by later
historians in the Valleys.
