History

Navigation Colliery Crumlin was built by the firm of Partridge Jones and Company between 1907 and 1911. The firm was one of the largest coal combines in S Wales, owning 9 collieries in the Gwent valleys. Navigation Colliery was a show-pit of the period with high quality buildings and up-to-date machinery. One of the earliest collieries in S Wales to be built in brick rather than local stone with brick dressings. Closed 1967 and disused since.

Exterior

High wall of red engineering brick on a concrete base extending behind the former office and creating a terrace in front of the main entrance, facing the approach from Crumlin. Wall runs out into rock which is behind other buildings on the main terrace.
