Glyncastle Colliery

Coal Mine

What is recorded here

Glyncastle Colliery cut through Post Medieval soil in Neath Port Talbot, pulling dark coal from the living earth while men risked everything for heat and motion. The shaft may have swallowed names, but it gave back strength enough to build entire towns. That transaction still echoes in the valley, reminding us that human progress often feeds on danger and loss.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Glyncastle Colliery as Coal Mine from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
