  • This photograph shows the winding gear of 'Dan's Muck Hole' at Pwllgwaun Colliery, Pontypridd. This colliery, named after Dan Thomas, had a shaft a mere 45 yards deep and was also entered by a level beginning near what is now the grandstand of Pontypridd Rugby Football Club's ground at Sardis Road. The colliery was worked from 1873 until 1950.
