What is recorded here

Tower Colliery, Fforest Fawr and the Brecon Beacons is a castle, fort or tower in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Perhaps men climbed iron ladders into black mouths while the beacons watched like pale gods. Maybe the tower stood guard over coal carts and shadowed men. Imagine the mountain breathing coal dust at dawn.
