*'Blaenavon' is the English version which was regularly used on official publications. However, the name of the town was originally the welsh spelling of 'Blaenafon' .This Welsh version is now becoming more common in usage. As we are encouraging the use of the authentic spelling we use it more prominently in our website but sometimes refer to it as Blaenavon for search engine purposes.
