The three-storey weavers’ cottages at Lea Mills date from the first half of the eighteenth century.

A row of ironworkers’ houses originally built by Richard Crawshay at Rhyd-y-car, Merthyr Tydfil, at the end of the eighteenth century. They have been reconstructed at St Fagans National History Museum, near Cardiff.
