Hi
Just bought the following book
Images of Wales
South Wales Collieries
vol Six
MIning Disasters.
by David Owen
published by Tempus Publishing LtdThe Mill, Brimscombe Port Stroud Gloucester GL52QG
If you have an interest in the South Wales coal field and their disasters this is the book for you it not only gives you a short history of the mine what accidents happen the outcome of thoes disaters  but gives names  of the miners who perished.
It brings history alive you will also shed a few tears.

Fantastic well done david owen from the Rhondda

Yes it is a good book, the latest in a series by David Owen.
He knows his onions because he was a miner himself for many years, lives down the road from me and is a good friend.
He will be pleased that he has a mention on this site.

Best Wishes Bethan
