Glenhafod Colliery/Goytre Near Port Talbot

When was the colliery opened? My elder brothers worked there and my dad (1930-40s). We lived in 22 East Street, and I attended Central School. My name is Glyn Parsons. When was the crescent built?. I know the East Street and Emroch Street were French-style houses, who built them and when? The filter beds were around when I was a kid, and I remember going up to the pistle and the prisoner of war camp. Can anybody help? If the guys I grew up with have computers and e-mail adresses, drop me a line, it would be nice to hear how your doing!!. Glyn (I came to Canada in 1969. No regrets!)
