TRACE EVIDENCE
2012
James Milne and Kenneth Trayner
While headgears adorn council logos, the crests of sports teams and pub signs – a national symbol of strength and heritage – Trace Evidence highlights exactly how few physical traces of the coal mining industry remain in South Wales. A tour of the region reveals how rare the once synonymous industrial structures have become.
From West to East, across the Coalfield:
1 headgear at Kidwelly Industrial Museum
2 headgears at Cefn Coed Colliery
1 headgear at Tower Colliery
1 headgear at Great Western Colliery
2 headgears at Rhondda Heritage Park (Lewis Merthyr Colliery)
2 headgears at Penallta Colliery
