What is recorded here
Tower Colliery Hirwaun Common is a castle, fort or tower in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Perhaps the tower rose above coal dust and common land, watching carts and men move through valleys. Maybe its stones still hold the heat of labor, though no longer any ladder or lamp remains.
