Aberpergwm
Aberpergwm is the site of a colliery in the Vale of Neath near Glynneath in south Wales.
The drift mine was reopened in 1996 after being closed by British Coal in 1985. It is owned and worked by Energybuild, a private company now wholly owned by Walter Energy of the USA (as of April 2011). The mine has probable recoverable reserves of 7.6 million tonnes of coal.[1], which is a high-grade anthracite. Most is delivered to Port Talbot Steelworks owned by Tata Steel. Currently the colliery has suspended working the multi-entry system in the 18ft seam and are concentrating on the development of the 9ft which is the life line of the colliery.
The ruined, derelict Aberpergwm House stands on the grounds, the former seat of the Williams family of Aberpergwm.
