Vivian Colliery Aerial Ropeway Map.
A map of the route of the aerial ropeway from the colliery to the top of the Arael Mountain.
The Powell’s Tillery Company started tipping waste on the top of Arael Mountain at Cefn Bach in June 1909. Later the Lancaster Co constructed their own ropeway to tip their waste from the Arael Griffin Colliery on the Cefn Bach close to the Vivian tip only via a different route further south.
