Craig-yr-Aral Level & The Gas Works Level

Craig-yr-Aral Level.
This coal level was situated close to the top end where Arrail Street is today, it may have been connected with the nearby Pant-yr-Aral Farm. The farm was demolished when the houses on Arrail Street was constructed. The Pant-yr-Aral Farm was located where numbers 4, 6 and 8 Upper Arrail Street is today.

In 1849 it was reported that a company from Brecon had leased the land off the Hanbury Estate and had sent in a team of engineers to open a trial level and test the coal seam. Surveyors said there were 900 acres to be mined and the seam extended below the Arael Farm.
