"Merthyr Tydvil, a place never to be forgotten when once seen. The blackest place above ground; I suppose, the Non-plus-ultra of Industrialism wholly mammonish, given up to shopkeeper supply-and-demand;—presided over by sooty Darkness physical and spiritual, by Beer, Methodism and the Devil, to a lamentable and supreme extent!" (Thomas Carlyle, 1854)




Welcome to the Merthyr Chartist Forum 


Commemorating the history and landscape of Chartism and Democracy.
