BAILEY, CRAWSHAY (1789-1872), iron-master and M.P., was the younger son of Joseph (or John) Bailey of Wakefield, and Susannah, sister of Richard Crawshay, iron-master, Cyfarthfa (q.v.). When only about 12 years of age he left his native Yorkshire to join his older brother, Joseph (q.v.), at Cyfarthfa and to assist at their rich uncle's iron-works. He was one of the witnesses to his uncle's will (26 Sept. 1809), and was bequeathed the sum of £1,000. It is probable that he remained for some time at Cyfarthfa after his uncle's death, but it is uncertain whether he left with his brother when the latter, with the assistance of Matthew Wayne (q.v.), commenced work at Nant-y-glo in 1811. In any case, he took over partnership in the Nant-y-glo works on Matthew Wayne's departure in 1820. From then onwards the two brothers co-operated in developing the Nant-y-glo works, and, later on, the Beaufort works.
A tradition persisted in the Rhymney district that he was the owner for some time until 1825 of the iron-works there. This seems to be corroborated by the Crawshay papers (now in N.L.W.); from these it would appear that it was his cousin William Crawshay I, of London, the then proprietor of Cyfarthfa, who prevented Crawshay Bailey from continuing in possession. It was Crawshay Bailey who constructed the tramway from Rhymney to Bassaleg, and this appears to confirm the tradition that he was connected with the Rhymney iron-works. During 1835, when the Calvinistic Methodist Association of South Wales held its quarterly meeting at Salem, Nant-y-glo, Crawshay Bailey, who was an Anglican, provided hospitality for the moderator and five leading ministers, possibly in gratitude to the denomination which had decided in its Association at Tredegar, 19 Oct. 1831, the year of the riots at Merthyr, that no trade unionist could be admitted to church membership.
Though himself a great iron-master, Crawshay Bailey distinguished himself from the others rather by his attitude towards the future of the coal industry. He foresaw the wealth that could be obtained from the development of the South Wales coal basin, and bought up many large areas at their agricultural value - at Aberaman, Mountain Ash, and in the Rhondda valley. He bought the Aberaman estate with its mansion, the home of generations of the Mathews family. This had been used as a summer resort by the descendants of Anthony Bacon (q.v.), and it was from the executors of Anthony Bacon II (d. 1827) that Crawshay Bailey bought the estate in 1836, conveyed to him by indenture dated 17 Feb. 1837. Underneath were some of the finest seams of coal and iron-ore in the world, but so far nothing had been done to develop them, and it was nine years before-he appeared to avail himself of his purchase; he continued to live at Nant-y-glo. In the meantime collieries were being sunk at Cwm-bach alongside the Aberdare canal. He waited until the valley seemed ripe for a railway. Then, with Sir Josiah John Guest (see the article 'Guest'), he obtained a Parliamentary Act in 1845 for the Aberdare Railway, to connect with the Taff Vale Railway at 'Navigation' (now called Abercynon). He came over from Nant-y-glo and left his nephew in charge of the Nant-y-glo and Beaufort works. Work now commenced in earnest in sinking the Aberaman colliery, and in constructing blast furnaces, etc. By 1 Aug. 1846 the railway was opened, and leased to the Taff Vale Railway from 1 Jan. 1847. By the first week in May 1847, a quantity of iron was puddled for the first time at Aberaman. He promoted the formation of the Aberaman and Aberdare Gas Co. in 1846, became a member of the Aberdare Board of Health on its formation in 1854, and was appointed high sheriff of Brecknock in 1837, and of Monmouthshire in 1851. He contested and won five parliamentary elections for Monmouth boroughs, which included Newport, etc., being M.P. from 1852 to 1868.
He was a great promoter of railways, which again helped him by creating a demand for rails. Besides the tramway from Rhymney to Bassaleg, and the Aberdare branch of the Taff Vale Railway, he made a new line of tramway from Beaufort and Nant-y-glo down to the Clydach valley to Llanfoist, to join the Brecon and Abergavenny canal. In 1852 he promoted a railway from the Forest of Dean, by Coleford, Monmouth, and Usk to Pontypool, etc.
By indenture dated 2 Feb. 1867 he conveyed the Aberaman estate with the collieries, ironworks, brick-works, private railway, etc., to the Powell Duffryn Steam Coal Co., at an aggregate price of £123,500. By 1869-70 the Nant-y-glo and Beaufort works had been disposed of. Crawshay Bailey retired to Llanfoist House, where he d. 9 Jan. 1872, leaving an only son and heir, CRAWSHAY BAILEY II, of Maindiff Court (1821-1887), who m. Elizabeth, countess Bettina, only daughter of Jean Baptiste, Count Metaxa. Crawshay Bailey II left two daughters, (1) Clara, who m. William James Gordon Canning, Hartpury Court, Glos., and (2) Augusta Emily, who m. William Carne Curre, Itton Court, Mon. | Crawshay Bailey

Was left a large fortune by his uncle, Richard Crawshay, Esq. of Cyfartha Ironworks, Glamorganshire, who died in 1810, which has been increased by his extensive ironworks at Nant-y-Glo. He wqas also possessed of considerable landed property in the counties of Brecon, Radnor, Glamorgan, Monmouth, Hereford, and Bucks., in several of which are handsome seats of his. He represented the city of Worcester in three Parliaments, and sat latterly for Breconshire. He was High Sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1828, and was a Deputy Lieutenant for that county and Breconshire, and was in the Commission of the Peace for the counties of Brecon, Glamorgan, Monmouth, and Hereford. He was patron of eight livings.
BAILEY, Sir JOSEPH (1783-1858), baronet, iron-master, landowner, and M.P., was the elder son of Joseph (or John) Bailey of Wakefield, and Susannah, sister of Richard Crawshay (1739-1810), the famous iron-master of Cyfarthfa (q.v.). When quite a young lad, he tramped the whole way from Yorkshire to seek his rich uncle at Merthyr. By hard work and perseverance he soon obtained a good grasp of the iron industry and coal-mining in all their branches. Later he was joined by his younger brother, Crawshay Bailey (q.v.), and both won the favour of their uncle, who, at his death (1810), left a quarter share of the Cyfarthfa iron-works to Joseph. The latter looked around for a suitable district where he could establish his own iron-works, as his cousin, William Crawshay I (q.v.), was anxious to become the sole proprietor, and had appointed his son, William Crawshay II (q.v.), as the manager, and neither welcomed so powerful a personality as Joseph Bailey either as co-proprietor or co-manager.
Joseph sold his quarter share in Cyfarthfa in Jan. 1813 for £20,000. Accompanied by Matthew Wayne (q.v.), an experienced Cyfarthfa agent, he bought the Nant-y-glo works (which had immense natural advantages, but which had been at a stop for many years) as from 25 March 1811. They soon had the works restored, and before the end of the first year were loading their pig-iron into barges on the Monmouthshire Canal. Production increased year by year. Even during 1816, the year after the end of the Napoleonic wars, when there was a general slump in iron manufacture, and acute unrest throughout the country caused by the high cost of wheat, Nant-y-glo was the only iron-works which actually increased its export. It is not known whether Crawshay Bailey was assisting or not, but during 1820 Wayne transferred his interests in the works to Crawshay Bailey. The two brothers soon made Nant-y-glo one of the great iron-works of the kingdom. By 1823 they had five blast furnaces in operation, and in 1826-7 added two more. They had also been fortunate to add the Beaufort iron-works to their Nant-y-glo works. This was obtained by agreement with Messrs. Kendall and Co. (17 Jan. 1833), possession being given (25 March 1833) for the sum of £45,000. Joseph's wife, Maria, daughter of Joseph Latham of Llangattock, Brecknock (who had been managing partner in the Beaufort iron-works), d. at Nant-y-glo, 27 May 1827.
Having amassed a large fortune, Joseph set about purchasing estates in Brecknock, Radnorshire, Herefordshire, Glamorgan, etc. Among them was that of Glanusk Park, where he lived for the rest of his life, having in 1830 retired from personal direction of the works. His brother Crawshay Bailey now had the responsibility of management.
On 19 Aug. 1830 Joseph m., as his second wife, Mary Ann, daughter of J. T. H. Hopper of Wilton Castle, co. Durham. He was high sheriff of Monmouthshire (1823). On 8 Jan. 1835 he was elected M.P. for the city of Worcester, which he represented until he was returned (2 Aug. 1847) as member for the county of Brecknock. He was made a baronet in 1852 [and d. 20 Nov. 1858].
His son, JOSEPH BAILEY II, was elected M.P. (12 Dec. 1837) for Sudbury, Suffolk, and in 1841 was returned for the county of Hereford, serving as M.P. until his death in 1850.
Joseph Bailey I was succeeded in the baronetcy and the Glanusk estates by his grandson, Sir JOSEPH RUSSELL BAILEY (1840-1906), 2nd baronet, who was created baron Glanusk, Jan. 1899 [he made important additions to the History of Brecknock (by Theophilus Jones, q.v.), and these were incorporated in the 3rd (1909-30) edition of that work]; he was succeeded by his son, JOSEPH HENRY RUSSELL BAILEY (1864-1928), 2nd baron Glanusk, 3rd baronet [a major in the Grenadier Guards, and afterwards lt.-col. 3rd Batt. South Wales Borderers; like his father, he was lord-lieutenant of Brecknock].
