About Fencing in Bargoed
Bargoed in South Wales emerged as an industrial town in the late 19th century once coal mining expanded rapidly through the Rhymney Valley, drawing workers and their families into the area to shape the community that grew up around the pits. Bargoed Colliery began sinking its shaft in 1897 under the Powell Duffryn Steam Coal Company, and in 1901 the nine foot Ras Las coal seam was discovered at a depth of 625 yards, with the first trams of coal raised in November 1903 by Sir Alfred Thomas, the local MP for East Glamorgan. By 1910 the colliery employed 1,943 miners and had become the largest coal mine in the Rhymney Valley, and it went on to set two world production records within a year of each other, raising 3,562 tons of coal in a single ten hour shift in December 1908 and breaking its own record with 4,020 tons in April 1909. The colliery finally closed in June 1977, employing just 360 men by that point, and the former pit site has since been reclaimed as a country park with lakes and cycle trails.
