Blaenau Gwent Coat of Arms

The green and white colours of the mantling and creat wreath are the livery of the Tudor kings and of Wales. The crest features a red Welsh dragon, based on that used by the old Ebbw Vale and Crickhowell Councils. The dragon is placed on a mound of coal for coal mining, and breathes flames and has a steel collar and supports a pair of mill rolls for the steel industry. The arms are supported by two more dragons similar to the one in the crest, each supporting a coal pick. The motto is UNDEB A RHYDDID meaning Unity and Freedom.

Each IBD County Page has or will have (where possible) the relevant Coat of Arms. This is made possible thanks to a fantastic heraldry website called the International Civic Heraldry Website. Sometimes a description is not given due to lack of information, so if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. You may visit this superb site by using the link below.
