Cwm Coke Works 2 January 2017. These works date from 1958 and were designed to produce metallurgical grade coke from the low sulphur coals in the area, principally from the adjacent mine, but also from other pits, including Coedely. After closure of the mine in November 1986, coal was brought in mainly by road up to closure in June 2002. Despite the intervening years almost all is intact, although almost nothing remains of the colliery.
