One of the first outbreaks of cholera, known as the King of Terrors, in Tredegar occurred in the early 1830s. The generally unsanitary conditions in houses (here and elsewhere in the UK) led to a rapid spread of the disease, which is transmitted primarily by drinking water or eating food that has been contaminated by the faeces of an infected person. Tredegar residents buried their dead as far away from the town as possible, hoping that out of sight meant out of mind.
Housing conditions were very bad, without ventilation or drainage. The gaps between houses were unpaved, often following the lines of the streams serving as conduits for excrement. In 1849 Wales experienced its worst cholera outbreak. In Merthyr Tydfil 1,682 people died of cholera, 1 in 50 of the town's population. In Tredegar the death toll from this outbreak was 203. Scarcely a street in the town was unaffected. The last outbreak of cholera here was in 1866.
