Pochin Colliery, photograph
Miner's train, Pochin Colliery. The Tredegar Coal Company developed reserves at Pochin about three miles south of Tredegar in the 1880's. Most of the work force lived in Tredegar and were taken to and from work in a collier's train specially used to cater for the dirty clothes of the pitmen. It's arrival at Tredegar was accompanied by clouds of dust as the several hundred colliers got out. The scene shown is at the colliery end of the shift as workmen prepare to travel home.
