Hafodyrynys Coal Washery The washery at Hafodyrynys contained equipment for extracting coal dust from slurry and drying the remaining waste before tipping: processes which were rare before the 1950s. It was built entirely of reinforced concrete with continuous glazed panels. The colliery closed in 1966 and the site was cleared in 1985, but the slimes thickener at the washery was retained at the request of Sir Richard Hanbury-Tenison of Pontypool Park Estate, to which the site reverted. Plans were drawn up at the time to adapt the building as a restaurant. Its futuristic use of reinforced concrete and the splendid isolation in which it now stands have made it a well-known landmark.

When the photo was taken the western portal had already been buried.  Subsequently, this end has also been infilled and buried beneath a whole lot of landscaping - which might excuse the poor quality of the photo, taken in early evening and a lot of Welsh weather!
