Great Western Colliery, Hopkinstown

Four shots from a recent shoot in Great Western Colliery, a derelict colliery in Hopkinstown near Pontypridd. The two versions of the last shot are due to me being indecisive! Mouseover for navigation…

    Hi there,

    Great collection from this Colliery, I used to pass this daily. Did you require permission to venture in to take these shots?

    Keep up the great work.

    Chris :o )

    Permission….? Hmmmm!

    Strictly speaking, probably yes!

    In reality – no. The site is easy to access – there are several large holes in the fence (or at least were when I went there). Just follow the rules of urban exploration – take only photos, leave only footprints… and as with any site like this, take care, as they can be dangerous!
