Thanks Stan,
Had actually seen that site, but thanks.
I'm struggling a bit to identify which pits would have been the workplaces for men from Rhymney. Rhymney Merthyr, I suppose! I know that my g-grandfather worked at Bargoed, which is further than I would have expected. Would workers have been transported to the mine by rail?
There's no one left in my family who was a miner. My father and his brothers were persuaded by their father to go nowhere near the pits!
