Challenger sold everything
I worked at Llanhilleth Colliery when it closed. Best bunch of people I have ever worked with. I could write a book on the characters who worked there
George Hibble was one Not many of us left
Llanhilleth Colliery had the number one first aid team in Wales
Sadly just heard Peter Musto who was part of the team has passed away RIP Peter

Anyone remember the snooker hall and shop run by the James family ?

[@ZZZ-js5oi]

Not like that these days. A village neglected and abandoned. Sad times.

[@notlaughinganymore1821]

The population is smaller due to the pit closure, that's true. There may not be as vibrant of a community as back then, but the town is a much cleaner and better looking place now though, so I guess it depends on one's definition of "neglected".
