Title: Completed os county series map Llangiwg
Post by: GPJ on Friday 03 December 10 22:23 GMT (UK)

Hi/Shwd mae
I am trying to find information on where Coed y ffaldau farm was situated.  I think it was in the Gwrhyd mountain area, Llangiwg.
After searching the West Glamorgan Archive service I discovered that Coed y ffaldau is recorded on the county series map, "Llangiwg, OS sheet 2.8".
Has anyone any idea where I can get/view this map, or does anyone know where Coed y ffaldau farm was?

Diolch/thank you

Hello  :)

You could try West Glamorgan Archives to see if they can provide an extract or perhaps the National Library of Wales?

This site mentions Coedffaldau colliery:

http://www.tytwp.plus.com/Waun/Coal.html

"...this colliery is shown south of  Brook Colliery -  on (old-maps) the place called Coed-y-ffaldau  (just west of Hendreforgan Colliery) is at (274463,211637)  and  on (Get-a-map)    ( SN744116)  although no mine is shown on either map at this spot."

Kind Regards
Morgan
