"clydach and iron" on the National library of wales search site (http://isys.llgc.org.uk/) gives a large number of hits, but my set up is not letting me open the documents today.

This will give you a bit of info about Clydach Ironworks.

It is a fascinating area with plenty of industrial archaeology still to see.

Here is another link which is also interesting:

Note that the spelling is either Gelli Felen or Gellifelen and not how it appears in the census.
