Garw Valley Collieries

Ffaldau Colliery in 1986 after closure.
The van in the picture belongs to the contractors who had come to demolish the pit.

It was the first colliery in the area to be really modernised by its owners Powell Dyffryn (who had purchased it from Cory Brothers) before Nationalisation in 1947.
