Cymmer Colliery, photograph
Insole colliery at Cymmer, Porth. One the earliest known photographs of a South Wales Colliery, it shows the Cymmer pithead with the Rhondda River in the foreground. From the pale dresses and the pillbox type hats of the three girls and the gentleman's stove pipe hat, they would seem to be visitors to the colliery.
