Tredegar is a former iron and coal town in the Welsh valleys, and it has a direct line to one of Britain's best-known institutions: the National Health Service.
An iron and coal town
Tredegar grew up around the Tredegar Iron and Coal Company, which dominated employment in the town through the industrial era. It was here, in 1897, that Aneurin Bevan was born — he left school at 13 to work alongside his father in the pit before rising through union and council politics to a parliamentary seat.
The town that shaped the NHS
Long before Bevan became Minister of Health, Tredegar already ran its own healthcare scheme: the Tredegar Medical Aid Society, which by 1933 was covering around 95% of the local population. Between 1945 and 1950, Bevan used that model as the basis for the National Health Service he created nationwide.
