Victoria is a locality within Ebbw Vale, South Wales, identified by the postal district NP 23. The area is served by the Ebbw Valley Railway, which operates passenger services each way between Ebbw Vale Town and Cardiff Central, and an hourly service each way between Ebbw Vale Town and Newport. The railway line was opened to support the local economy and remains a key transport link. Historically, the region was dominated by the Ebbw Vale Steelworks, an integrated steel mill developed from 1790. By the late 1930s it had become the largest steel mill in Europe. The mill was nationalised after World War II, and later ceased iron and steel making in the 1970s. The site was redeveloped as a specialised tinplate works and closed by Corus in 2002. Currently, the former steelworks site is being redeveloped in a joint partnership between Blaenau Gwent Council and the Welsh Government, signalling potential future regeneration for the locality.
