Hi All,

Recently been kindly sent this image by Mr David Roberts, ex valley boy.

Several have now been identified so far:

The names are now on the images along with those that have identified them for us….

Any  help to identify more personnel would be gratefully received…..

Either directly on here or on our mailing list (WLS–OGMORE-VALLEY@rootsweb.com)

(If you click on the image below you`ll get a much larger image to look at)

I`ll take a copy of the image to the Con Club tonight, hopefully get a few more names…..

Bert Jones, Mike Ridley and Huw Daniel trek to the remains of the Dimbath Colliery in Blackmill`s Dimbath Valley.

As you can see in the two images below there isn`t much left to see, but as identified by bert in the left image you can see the shaft in the bottom left and the remains of the Colliery Truck Shop to the right of the right of the left hand trees.

On the right hand image is another entrance to the mine.
