Background
History
In the 1840s, Brechfa featured in the Rebecca Riots when rioters destroyed tollgates on the local turnpike road. During the 1930s Great Depression, unemployed men were sent to work on the Forestry Commission land, breaking ground, building tracks, and undertaking other heavy labour. The men lived in a work camp in Brechfa, which was one of a number of Instructional Centres run by the Ministry of Labour.
