Inside Description: "At last, a worthy definitive history of Cwmbran is available to grace the bookshelves of those eager to learn about the distant past and early beginnings of a turbulent industrial centre.  There was nothing romantic about those bygone days, so full of heavy toil, sweat and hardship.  These events are recorded for all time in the following pages and many will now recognise how their ancestors came through the difficult times with heads held high and a quiet dignity, which helped to make survival possible."
We say: A book that covers Cwmbran over the (rather bold) period of 4,000BC to 1980.  The title is taken from the W.H. Davies poem of the same name.
