Pant-Y-Gwaith mine This was the last mine in the area to close down, apparently mined by a Canadian company until the 1950s. I visited it in 1991, and the buildings were in a fair condition; a ration book could still be seen inside the main building. In February 2006 all was vandalised and valuables removed.
