Dist:0.4km<br/>The appearance of this memorial belies the date of its unveiling which was September 2009. It is in memory of all who those who worked and all those who died in the Markham Colliery 1912 to 1985 and some former miners attended the unveiling. An explosion in a shaft of the mine in 1912, just a year after it opened, caused the death of six miners. Four miners were awarded The Edward Medal http://sites.google.com/site/minesrescuehistory/gallantry-awards/the-edward-medal . http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2139885 for the plaque.

Dist:0.8km<br/>This ford is just upstream of the road bridge. The bridge is very narrow so that farm vehicles and other large vehicles cannot use it.

Dist:1.0km east<br/>A very narrow road leads down, then round a corner to reveal this view through the arch of the old bridge which used to carry a railway, but now has the Sirhowy Valley Walk crossing over it. The view is towards the Sirhowy Valley itself, though it is hard to make it out through all the trees.
