The rich were exactly that the poor suffered terrible deprivation especially those in the Rhondda, Cynon and Gwent vallies. In the 1700 the main export from these vallies was coal and iron. In the 1700 the biggest Iron works in the world was at a town called Merthyr Tydfil; over 20% of teh world iron was produced by the great blast furneses of the town . The Guest familiy that wown their owrks in fact owned the town because they dictated who would work and who would not. Living conditions were bleak to say the very least. Many towns in Wales suffered huge issues of deprivation, over crowding and lacking in basic ammenities even food.
