Can anyone identify the colliery if called something other than Trehafod.
I will then add an album.

I think these were part of the Hafod colliery - which were on the other site of the new bypass to Lewis Merthyr:

Thanks, I'll add it as Hafod for now. 🙂

It's a fair way above the pit, I wonder if the worked seams inclined up in that direction?
