Lady Lewis Colliery,
1906, whilst sinking was still in progress.
The Colliery was opened in 1904.
By
1913 it employed 1,228 men and boys
and by 1918
the workforce numbered 1,152.
It
was taken over by the Powell Duffryn
group in the late 1920's.
Coal production ceased in 1926 and it
was used for ventilation and pumping
purposes. In 1967 the Local Authority
obtained 8.5 acres of the site and re-developed
it as factory units.
