More about this scene
This is the main road through what was once the home of the Welsh iron industry. The first forge is reputed to have been working in 1425, with the first ironworks following in 1577. Here a group of fashionable dandies gather outside Evans the jeweller's—two of the workers are daring to take a peep out of the door. Note the collection of pocket watches in the window; these were obviously a fashion accessory no one should be without in the 19th century.
