Preserved Newbridge Colliery Beam Engine, Treforest, Pontypridd
The beam winding and pumping engine from Newbridge Colliery is preserved outside the University of Glamorgan Treforest campus (formerly the Treforest School of Mining). Built in 1845 by Varteg Ironworks, it has a replacement cylinder made in 1861 by Brown Lenox & Co of Pontypridd. The beam engine operated until 1919. It was re-erected here in 1920.
Present day observers may wonder why something from Newbridge (10 miles or 16km) away is preserved here. The explanation is that the Newbridge in question is Pontypridd, which changed its name from Newbridge in the 1860s.
Huw Llewellyn informed me that this institution started as the South Wales and Monmouthshire School of Mines. The students were taught such things as mechanical engineering, thermodynamics and theory of machines so it is entirely appropriate that this wonderful machine is here in the grounds.
