Penallta Colliery
Mine in Hengoed, Caerphilly, Wales / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Penallta Colliery was a coal mine, located close to Hengoed in the Rhymney Valley in the South Wales Valleys. A coal mine which in 1935 held the European record for coal wound in a 24-hour period, it is now the site of an original redevelopment project which will make use of the former pit head buildings.
