MERTHYR TUDFUL - T-Shirt
Local tradition holds that around 480 CE, a girl called Tudful — daughter of a local chieftain named Brychan — was murdered by Saxon pagans and buried in the town. Tudful was considered a martyr after her death. Merthyr translates to “martyr” in English, and when the town was founded it was named in her honour. A church was eventually built on the traditional site of her burial. Merthyr Tudful: named after a saint, forged in iron, and not to be messed with.
Merthyr was known as the Iron Capital of the World in the early 19th century — not a boast, just a fact. The world’s first ever railway journey happened here in 1804, travelling 9 miles from the ironworks at Penydarren to the Glamorganshire Canal on the Merthyr Tramroad. Richard Trevithick built the locomotive. Merthyr provided the reason. The 1851 census found Wales to be the world’s first industrialised nation, with Merthyr the biggest town in Wales at that time. It has been punching above its weight ever since and has absolutely no intention of stopping.
