Southern end of Cwmtillery Lakes
Excess water flows over a weir and into a drain at the southern end of Cwmtillery Lakes. This body of water was formerly a feeder pond for Cwmtillery Colliery. After the colliery closed in 1982, the area was transformed into an open access nature site with a path around the lake, benches and picnic tables.
Several mallards are in the foreground.

Memorial wheels, Cwmtillery
Located at the northern end of Brookside Row. On seeing the former colliery winding wheels, I thought that they were a memorial to Cwmtillery Colliery which operated in this area from 1843-1982. However, none of the inscriptions mention the colliery. The inscription on the stone base between the wheels is a dedication to William Williams of Cwmtillery who was killed in the Chartist uprising in 1839. Above this inscription is one with several letters missing.
The remaining letters are IN ER MEMORY OF COF AM. The biggest gap is between IN and ER.
The inscription on the stone in front of the wheels is LSCC 1908.
