Public artwork near Riverside Park, Mountain Ash
This is a rather unsettling example of public artwork on both sides of the Afon Cynon. In view are many grotesque human masks on top of a wall, and one embedded in the wall partway down. In the absence of any explanatory signs, I asked the sole passer-by if he knew what is being depicted. He shrugged, saying he was a visitor to this area, just like me...

Waddle Fan, Deep Duffryn Colliery, formerly Nixon's Navigation Colliery.
Circa 1880 steam driven Waddle fan for ventilating the pit. Standby until 1967. The 40' fan has been cut-up but the driving steam engine is at Big Pit Mining Museum.
Colin Bowden writes as follows - The fan engine was installed at Nixon's Navigation Colliery (North Pit), but the two shafts of this were taken over and used for pumping and ventilation by Deep Duffryn Colliery, for which the Waddle fan was used as a standby ventilator until 1967, when it was condemned. I don't know when the change occurred - it seems that Nixon's Navigation was never operated by the NCB, so it was presumably before nationalisation.
This site has also been called Abergorki colliery by various authors.

Deep Duffryn Colliery, steam fan engine
Also known as Nixon's Navigation Colliery and sometimes as Abergorki Colliery. This engine drove a large Waddle ventilating fan and was built in about 1880 by The Waddle Patent Fan & Engineering Co of Llanelly. This was a very simple piston valve machine with two simple cylinders arranged vis a vis. Only one was used at a time with the other acting as a standby that could be got in to use quite quickly by swapping over the connecting rods. The fan was very rusty and has been cut up. The engine is at Big Pit Mining Museum but I do not know whether or not it is on display yet.
