A Time forgotten

Penallta Collierywas a coal mine, located close to Hengoed in the Rhymney Valley in the South Wales Valleys. A coal mine which in 1935 held the European record for coal wound in a 24-hour period, it is now the site of an original redevelopment project which will make use of the former pit head buildings.

Opened in 1905 by Powell Duffryn
In 1947, the mine was nationalised by British Coal and Closed on November 1, 1991
