In centre frame can be seen the location of a former coal mine. St Johns Colliery was opened by North's Navigation Collieries Ltd. in 1910 on the site of the defunct Cwmdu Colliery. St Johns was the last deep mine in the Llynfi Valley and employed nearly 1500 miners. It closed in 1985. This image was taken from its spoil heap.
