A drift mine working Steam coal, Penllwyngwent Colliery was opened by the Cory Brothers in 1906 and employed 558 men just prior to Nationalisation in 1947.
The mine was closed by the National Coal Board in 1969. Large tips remained on the hillside above the colliery, with parts burning internally for many years. The tips have now been incorporated into a landfill site.
