| 释义 |
The Garw/Ffaldau Colliery was a colliery formed in 1975 in Pontycymer, Wales. It was formed from the joining together of the Garw Colliery and the Ffaldau Colliery.[1][2] The Ffaldau Colliery had 1,100 workers in 1927, though this had declined by half by the mid 1930s.[3] The pit closed in November 1985; a total of 630 miners lost their jobs. A potential buy out of the pit by workers had been mooted, but this was deemed to have been prohibitively expensive after the National Coal Board cut the ropes on the caged lift and 200,000 tonnes of hardcore were poured down the mine shaft. A reunion was held of former mine workers in 2015.[4] The Garw Colliery (also known as the Ocean Colliery) was one of six pits in the Garw valley.[5] Following the merger of the two pits workers entering at Blaengarw had a 1-2 mile walk underground due to the closure of the access shaft at Pontycymer.[4] References1. ^Cornwell, 2001 pg. 121 2. ^{{cite book|author=Ben Curtis|title=The South Wales Miners: 1964-1985|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DD4nDAAAQBAJ|date=15 May 2013|publisher=University of Wales Press|isbn=978-1-78316-555-1|page=106}} 3. ^{{cite book|author1=Alan Campbell|author2=Nina Fishman|title=Miners, Unions and Politics, 1910–1947|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oi6oDQAAQBAJ|date=5 December 2016|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=978-1-351-91738-4|page=106}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/local-news/ex-miners-plan-one-last-10376510|title=Ex miners plan one last reunion three decades after closure of the last Garw pit|author=Abby Bolter|date=4 November 2015|work=Wales Online|accessdate=20 October 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Garw Valley Collieries|url=http://www.diggingupthepast.org.uk/garwvalleycollieries.html|publisher=Digging Up the Past|accessdate=20 October 2017}}
