Pentre Colliery, Pentre 1915

A Photograph of Pentre Colliery, Pentre 1915 from Tribute to the Rhondda
First opened in 1864. In 1869 the colliery was bought by Cardiff ship-owners John & Richard Cory who bought Gelli and Tynybedw pits shortly afterwards.

Their intention was to establish a global network of coal depots & agencies fuelling the world's shipping.
