Shaft circled. Also known as Tredegar Junction colliery.
This colliery was located on Gelligroes Road, Pontllanfraith. The shaft was 31yds. deep to the Mynyddislwyn Seam. (other sources state the depth to have been 28 yds.)
Note the drivage (arrowed) connecting this shaft to that of the New Penllwyn Colliery (off-map).
This mine, shown on OS map of 1820's, was owned by Joseph Beaumont in 1841 with 114 No. men & boys employed - 16 of those boys were between the age of 6 -12yrs. The Overman was Edward Rees.
I have also annotated the Pengam Fault (left) which has a 33 yd. down-throw west.
The workings to the left of this fault are those of Bryn Colliery whilst those at top left are of New Penllwyn colliery which, owned by Thomas Powell, closed in 1862 (Tony Cooke) - as must this shaft which was obviously maintained for ventilation & as a second way out for the New Penllwyn pit.
Monday 29th. September 1851 - when owned by Thomas Powell - two men, J. James and J. Connor were asphyxiated when the furnace ventilation fire at pit bottom was allowed to go out.
It was this shaft that re-appeared after heavy rains in September 2008.

ELEPHANT PARADE AMSTERDAM
5 september - 31 oktober 2009
From September onwards, a hundred full size art elephants will swarm the streets of Amsterdam: together, they form a remarkable open-air exhibition, the Elephant Parade, that is dedicated to the Asian elephant. After the successful editions in Rotterdam and Antwerp, the exhibition in Amsterdam will be the largest so far.
The Elephant Parade is founded by father and son Mike and Marc Spits. With their project, they aim to raise attention for the Asian elephant, that is threatened with extinction. Their project has proven to be succesful: the first two editions of the Elephant Parade, held in Rotterdam and Antwerp, raised a total amount of over 700,000 euro. The benefits of the Elephant Parade are donated to the Elephant Family, the largest elephant charity in the world and was founded in 2002 by Mark Shand. He is a globetrotter, philantropist and writer and maker of the BBC documentary Queen of the Elephants.
Especially for the Elephant Parade Amsterdam, a tour is set out that will lead you along all the elephants that are located at several hotspots in the Amsterdam city centre: Museum Square, Spui, Westermarkt, Koningsplein, Kalvertoren?
Map by Ashburn Maps. Ashburn was based in and founded in Fort Worth, TX in the 1930s, where J. Foster Ashburn was from, but he lived for a short while in Atlanta as well, and kept Atlanta maps in their cataclog until around 1970. Printed for a bank. This pic excerpt shows the Dekalb extension of Atlanta, along with part of Decatur. Atlanta, and other Georgia cities lost the ability to annex land about this time - actually a few years earlier - resulting in some occasionally odd city limits shapes and configurations....

Map by Hill map Company. Map is folded into a red card stock cover. The front shows central L.A. out to Santa Monica and south to Compton. The opposite side shows the San Fernando Valley, which was still mostly rural at the time.
Situated high on the hillside above Abernant.
Opened c1840 by the Aberdare Iron Co. Closed 1927.
The double track is a balanced incline plane running down to the G.W.R Merthyr Branch line and also the Abernant Iron Works.
February 1915 - the mine was purchased by the Powell Duffryn Co. from Lord Bute "in order to better control the water inflow which affects the Aberaman workings"

Map by Superior Maps, published for the Monroe Chamber of Commerce. In 1983, Monroe was still a small town of 15,000 or 20,000 people. Monroe is now a very, very rapidly growing suburb of Charlotte, and much of western Union County is a vast area of suburban development. Historically, the county is known for the prominence of two families - the Belks (who founded the original Belks Department Store in Monroe before relocating to Charlotte), and the Helms, whose descendant Jesse was famus, and infamous both in North Carolina and in the US senate for a generation.
Map by Hagstrom Maps, for a bank. Original cartography by MAPCO, more than a decade earlier. The bank logo is some serious stuff - those guys weren't messing around, obviously.
This is the original house-coal pit.
Sunk by Edmund Thomas & George Griffiths in 1870. Also known as "Globe Merthyr"
Friday January 19th. 1883 - during a visit underground by six men and six ladies, Miss Skyrene was badly injured when the dram in which she was being carried was struck by a passing dram on an incline and she was thrown out resulting in an amputated leg.
August 21st. 1883 - an explosion in the later steam coal pit killed five men including the undermanager John Chubb when some 400 men & boys were employed here.
Mr. Chubb (44 yrs.) had been critiicised during the Inquest into the Dinas colliery explosion of 1879 for his poor safety record although he had only been at this mine (Gelli) for two months. He left a widow and six children.
The manager, Daniel Thomas, was prosecuted by the Home Office for safety violations but was cleared due to conflicting evidence.
Two of the victims together with a survivor were found to have been carrying pipes and tobacco at the time of the explosion.
List of Victims of 1883 explosion.
John Chubb (44 yrs.)
David Thomas (34 yrs.)
Thomas Woodliffe (25 yrs.)
John Jones (48 yrs.)
John Lewis (31 yrs.)
A contemporary account gives an insight into the harsh social conditions prevailing at the time :- " upon visiting the home of one of the injured, who was soon to submit to his maker, I was assailed by the squalid sight before me. The house was shared by two large families and was barely set with but the most basic of furnishing. The unfortunate man was lying upon a pile of rags in the corner of a lower room in a most desperate state from which he was soon to receive merciful release."
March 1884 - Messrs. Thomas & Griffiths sold this mine to Messrs. Cory Bros. and when, in August 1884, they sought to reduce wages, together with Tynybedw, in line with their other mines the men began a protracted strike to which Cory Bros. threatened to bring in miners from othe areas.
April 1887 - this mine, as with many others suffering from the effects of depressed trading conditions, was temporarily stopped - Messrs. Cory bros. negotiating with the landlord, Crawshay Bailey, to reduce the royalties from one shilling a ton to six pence a ton in an attempt to restart production.

Map by H M Gousha. US Route 59 is gradually being converted into Interstate 69, which originally ran from Indianapolis to south of Lansing, Michigan. The interstate was first extended northeast (during the 1970s and 80s) to the Canadian border at Port Huron, Michigan. Beginning in the late 1990s, work began to extend the highway southwest to the Mexican border as well (ending in Brownsville, Texas), with long sections in Indiana and Kentucky, and short sections in Mississippi and Texas now open as well.
Map by Arrow Map Co. Dover is one of very few state capitals not located on an interstate highway (along with Juneau, Carson City, Pierre, and Jefferson City).
Map by Champion Maps. State Street (US 58), horizontal at the center of the pic, is the Tennessee/Virginia state line. Two-thirds of Bristol's population lives on the southern, Tennessee side of the border. The Virginia (northern) side is home to the other third, and the Virginia part of the city is a Virginia Independent City - not part of any county.
The upper highlight marks Tir-gibbon colliery - closed 1876. Opened again by Messrs. Hill Bros August 1884.The tramway leading north led to another shaft and a level, the site of which now lies under the Penrheol estate. Both pits worked the Llantwit vein (Mynyddislwyn / Bedwas Vein) - at Pen-yr-heol pit the depth was 75 yds.
Pen-yr-heol consisted of a shaft and level (arrowed bottom left)

Notice how different the waterfront was back in 1849. Market Street runs into the water at 1st Street. The Embarcadero and the Ferry Building (built in 1898) didn't exist yet.

Map by Thomas Brothers Maps. Tucson was originally a Spanish colonial town, long before Arizona became a part of the United States. Map published for Union 76 gas stations.
The Aberdare canal can be seen on east side of river terminating at Canal House. Surprisingly, there are no mines shown on the map - or much else, industrially, apart from Abernant Furnace.
A rural setting at that time.

Map by Alexandria Drafting Company.
NC Route 16, which runs from Waxhaw, North Carolina to the Ohio River south of Wheeling, originally followed Elizabeth Avenue, and Trade Street through uptown.
US 21, which was shifted onto I-77 in sections between the late 1960s and early 1980s, originally followed South Boulevard, Morehead Street, Graham Street, and Statesville Avenue through uptown. US 21 originally ran from the Beaufort area of South Carolina north to Cleveland, Ohio. Between the mid-1960s and the early 1980s, it was gradually truncated southward; it's northern endpoint is now Wytheville, Virginia, and the only section not rendered redundant by I-77 is the section south of Columbia, South Carolina.
