    A statue to mine owner William Lewis had been erected at Senghenydd as early as 1911. It took until 1981 for the NCB to unveil a memorial to the 440 men and boys who lost their lives. Colliery manager Edward Shaw was fined £25 and the company fined £10 which equates to the value of each miners life being just 1 shilling. Around 5 pence in today's currency.

      If ever a statue needed removing and throwing into the sea it's William lewis's

    We should never forget the price of coal on this island
    Senghenydd was the worst, but literally thousands of men and boys lie entombed in our coalfields
