Most excellent photos, but so very sad to see a way of life for so many who gave so much, just swept away. And now we are importing coal!

[@WhitchurchandLlandaffNorth]

I agree very sad to see!

f only we`d kept the productive and viable pits open, instead of lying prostrate before the altar of Net Zero, we wouldn`t be in the position we find ourselves now.

Hi I have a Map book that shows all of the the Colliery’s but for one Cwm Cynon Colliery Penrhiwcieber.
Which also includes the steel and iron works,from the Welsh Borders with England in the East to Pembrokeshire in the West of Wales,which would also include the levels and drifts prior to the sinking of Cwm Cynon Colliery Penrhiwcieber in the Cynon Valley,I also understand the there is a similar book of this description in the Welsh Museum in Cardiff.

[@WhitchurchandLlandaffNorth]

That sounds interesting and probably quite a valuable source of information particularly now the pits have all closed down.

Only when we see images like this we reflect upon how much coal mining was part of our lives. So many mines working over 150 years! If you were not a miner in South Wales, then you would be connected in some way. My grandfather was a miner, two of his sons, his daughters married miners, my father worked for the NCB as a purchasing officer,s. Now, there is nothing, little evidence of what once was, only when you look closer, tips tree-covered, railways overgrown and the odd concrete structure standing above the trees in the valley bottom.
How about looking at the light industry now gone. Remember "Hoovers" and Triang Merthyr, Alexon in Rhydyfelin, Royal Worcester in Tonyrefail, the industrial estates? All gone the same way!
