  I am fascinated with anything to do with mining. I come from the East End of London and the nearest to a mine there was the underground/tube network.

  Well done. Most of the information here, is from people who are passing on first hand knowledge of things as they were. Mainly it seems from around the 1950’s onwards? However, there was a time from around the 1850’s when there was a mass exodus of people from places like the West Country and Carmarthenshire. This time was even more significant. It was the time when the Rhondda, for example was being born as it were. The vast differences in accents, traditions, lifestyles and colloquialisms all came together to form the way of life which still exists in some form today. There was hardly a truly “Welsh” person in the Rhondda during these formative years. We are a meld of different peoples all brought together under a common cause; Coal mining. This is why the Rhondda and the valleys are a unique culture all of their own.

  Might I offer you the thought that sprang to my mind whilst I was watching this? I'm a Liverpudlian, making us neighbours, long in standing too and yet even I couldn't distinguish what was being spoken at times and that's when it occurred to me 'how much more difficult' it must be for everyone not English. CC captions on the YT platform fail miserably with accents and regional dialects, rendering it useless. I hope this is helpful because it isn't a criticism.

  My father Gwyn Jones started work at fourteen, at Abercynon colliery. On his first day there he was put to work with an older experienced miner, within the first hour of work, the older miner was killed by a roof cave in. My dad, just fourteen and black with coal dust walked home after his shift, with two white streaks caused by the tears running down each cheek. God Bless all you ex coal miners.

  "In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most. Time taken in stocking energy to build an energy system, adding to it the time taken in building the system will always be longer than the entire useful lifetime of the system. No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores. No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it. This universal truth applies to all systems. Energy, like time, flows from past to future".

  At the beginning '1-05' Lodge banner for 'Cwm Llantwit Lodge'. I worked in Cwm Colliery, Beddau and was on one side of that banner as we carried it back into work after the 1984/85 strike.

  A great efford was made by this students to make history alive for us. It was an important part of Welsh, national and international history of common people. Incredible workers and a lively monument in this document. I am a Dutch teacher and appreciate the huge proces to do this! 🌷 Love from Holland

  I'm very proud of my Welsh coal-mining ancestry - the Iles and the Sherriff families - my great grandparents and their sons who mined in Pontypridd, Trehafod colliery - Bertie Pit and Trefor. The wives and mothers, sisters all worked just as hard. I don't forget that.
