It's been 35 years since the closure of Cwm Colliery in the south Wales Valleys. The pit, in Beddau near Pontypridd, was once at the heart of its local community, employing around 800 men. It was closed in 1986 - a year after the UK miners' strike - following a decline in the coal industry. This is what remains of the site today ⬇️ | WalesOnline

Once known as “The Slaughterhouse”, Cefn Coed Colliery was one of the deepest and most dangerous anthracite mines in the world. Sunk over 2,500 feet underground, men worked the brutal Big Vein seam in extreme heat, darkness, and constant danger from roof falls and methane gas. Between the 1920s and 1960s, lives were lost here, and the pit earned a fearsome reputation across South Wales. Today, Cefn Coed Colliery Museum stands as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by miners in the Dulais
