Rose Heyworth Colliery

Rose Heyworth Colliery.
Rose Heyworth Colliery – The Timber Yard and Sawyers Cabin, looking north-west, the new colliery waste tip can be seen in the distance.

This tip was established in the 1940’s-50’s when the previous two tips, one opposite the colliery and the other at the top end of the Abertillery Park extension reached their limit. The waste was conveyed by means of an aerial rope flight and was dumped on the site of the old South Griffin Colliery.
