Abercregan is long gone (as are all the deep mines in South Wales, bar one in Glynneath where my father works).

If you want to visit one, then The Big Pit is probably your best option, although it is a bit of a distance from the Maesteg area

Hi
  I have relatives who were coal miners and lived in Michealstone lower in the 18's early 1900s.
 Is there a record of employees of the local mines anywhere to view?
Thanks
