Who invested in the industries of Merthyr Tydfil in 1750-1900?
The first ironworks was opened in 1759. Others followed and by 1784 there were four large ironworks (Penydarren, Dowlais, Plymouth, Cyfarthfa) within a two mile radius of the original village. By 1801 over 8,000 people were living in Merthyr Tydfil making it the largest town in Wales. By the 1830s the Dowlais Ironworks was the largest in the world. Josiah Guest, who owned the ironworks, realised that it would be an advantage to link his ironworks with Cardiff docks. Guest joined forces with Anthony Hill, owner of another ironworks near Merthyr Tydfil, to form the Taff Vale Railway Company. Isambard Brunel, a talented engineer from Bristol, was recruited to build the railway.

Why did Dowlais ironworks Merthyr Tydfil shut down?
The ironworks didn't shut down as such, it had been converted into a modern steelworks, bought out the nearby Cyfarthfa Works and entered into partnerships to create the world famous brand of Guest, Keen & Nettlefolds, but new foreign competition, especially the huge German and American combines made continued investment too expensive given the cost of necessary imports, particularly from their Basque iron ore mines, so it was dismantled and moved to the coast at Cardiff East Moors on the Severn Sea (Bristol Channel), 'The Dowlais Works, Dowlais' became 'The Dowlais Cardiff Works'. Back in Dowlais itself the main body closed down in 1936, but the Ivor Works foundry, named after Ivor Bertie Guest, Lord Wimbourne, the son of Sir John and Lady Charlotte, was continually modernised and carried on making ingot moulds for export until it finally closed down in 1987.
When was the stables at Dowlais Merthyr Tydfil Built?
The former Dowlais Ironworks Stables (now called Dowlais Stables) was built for Sir Josiah John Guest in 1820. The building is a rectangular plan of ranges set round a railway-served central yard. The south west range has two-storeys with centre and end pavilions separating 9-bay ranges and there is a tall central arch, through which the railway passed, with a circular clock face. The large first-floor rooms were used as a boys school until the Dowlais Schools 200 yards away were built in 1854-5. Soldiers were stationed there for several years after the Merthyr riots of 1831. The stables closed in the 1930s and the site became derelict. In the late 1970s unauthorised demolition started, but was brought to a halt. The whole site was bought by the "Merthyr Tydfil Heritage Trust" in 1981 and subsequently turned into flats. The south east facade walls were also substantially rebuilt. Of the original structure, only the southeast range and Stables House on the north west range currently survive.
