Beddau - Evidence relating the cease date of Cwm Colliery/ Cwm Coke Works

Latest comment: 6 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

During exploration of the main works building, I observed a whiteboard and associated documents that appear to contain information from the site's final days of operation. The whiteboard appears to record the cessation of production at approximately 06:30am on the 26th of June. A separate signature and date appear to have been added at approximately 12:20pm on the 27th of June.

The writing remains visible today and can also be seen in earlier footage recorded inside the works. While this is primary-source evidence and may not meet Wikipedia's sourcing requirements on its own, it could be of interest to researchers or editors familiar with published sources covering the closure of the coke works. If any reliable sources exist that corroborate these dates, they may help improve the historical record of the site's final period of operation.

I can provide photographs of the whiteboards if they would be useful for verification and further research. ~2026-56307-79 (talk) 08:05, 21 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
