When I had the pleasure of presenting Bedwellty Park to this town
(Tredegar) one of my critics asked: "Are you quite sure, Lord
Tredegar, that you have not given the Tredegar people a white
elephant?" That simile did not trouble me, for I told them I was quite
sure in a few months the park would be as black as the rest of
Tredegar.
