A plaque http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3891286 on the building at the edge of Rheola Street commemorates the employees who worked and died in Penrikyber Colliery, a 3-shaft mine complex which occupied this site from 1879-1985. The spelling Penrikyber, the Anglicised name of the village, is rarely seen today except in historical contexts.
