It deals with the neighbouring townships of Pantside, Newbridge, Crumlin and Abercarn all of which were part of the now-defunct Abercarn Urban District in the Ebbw Valley, Gwent. Many facets are covered including the inevitable coal-mining industry which once played such a vital role in the wealth and economy of the valley. More than 200 photographs and illustrations are included, providing a most interesting insight into this part of Wales.
