Penallta Colliery

Visit by Turk, Dweeb and Raddog.

Penallta Colliery was a long term aim for us to go and see, and after some research we found the location and off we went. It was a long journey all the way down the M5 down to south wales, it was also going to be a trip to see the "brackla storage areas" but Penallta was the prime target.

This place is superb, the bath house has been smashed up a fair bit, but still holds huge character, the winding house is do-able with a little ingenuity and also 1 headstock is climable. This means that we spent a good few hours here, and enjoyed photographing the place.

here's the pictures...
