Merthyr Tydfil’s iconic Grade II listed Vulcan House is officially opening after a £2m redevelopment.

Formerly a brewery and then an iron foundry, it became the centre of activity for the Chartist movement in the 19th century.

Part of the regeneration of the area and a partnership between Wales West Housing and Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council enabled the building to be saved with funding from the Welsh Government.
