Title: Brickworks foreman Rhymney
Post by: jwayborg on Sunday 08 April 12 00:01 BST (UK)

Hi, I have a Great grandfather who lived in Rhymney who worked as a brickwork foreman. 
I was wondering if anyone knew of any brickworks in the area so I can find out where he may have worked.

Thanks

Thanks for that .... Very interesting information, never knew there were so many but it looks likely that Tredegar was the nearest it was operational around 1917 so certainly possible..
