Meeting - 10th Feb 2010

Hi All,
For those unable to attend tonights (short) meeting, you have
missed a real gem of an item donated to the Society…..

Thanks to Trevor John who has been in contact with Mr Peter REDSHAW who
has very kindly sent us a very good image of an Illuminated Address
given to his grandfather, Mr Thomas REDSHAW, M.E. of the Penllwyngwent
and Cwm Fuwch Collieries on his departure from the valley on 13th
February 1913.

Not only is this an excellent piece of artwork, but it also contains the
signatures of the Chairman, Fisher Morgan, the Treasurer, Aaron Thomas
and the members of the committee:
T. Mosley, Edward Hares, William J. Bartlett, Henry Bartlett(?), John J.
Curtis, Herbert G. Madley.

It also 4 corner roundels with images and a top image, of which we only
have seen previously the image of Aber Colliery, the four new views we
haven`t seen previously are:

Top image: Aber House
Top Right Roundel: Penllwyngwent Colliery (looks like a view from the
Aber Colliery)
Bottom Right: Colour image of Cwm Fuwch coal drams (slightly different
angle than our current image and in colour)
Bottom Left: Coal drams enetering and leaving a drift mine…Probably
Penllwyngwent?

I will scan these images and add to our Facebook Group…..
