More about this scene
Miners' cottages overlook the buildings and railway lines associated with the colliery at Cwmtillery, which opened in 1850. This area, however, was already occupied at a much earlier date - a Bronze Age axe was found at a settlement at Llanerch Padarn higher up the valley. The colliery finally closed in 1982.
