Dist:0.4km<br/>A plaque says "Erected by the Rhymney U D Council to mark the reclamation in 1970 of the old Maerdy Colliery and Rhymney Iron Works sites". The wheels came from Mclaren colliery at Abertysswg. On a personal note, these are the wheels that took my father-in-law up and down for 35 years, first until the closure of Mclaren colliery in 1959 and then to give access to the Ogilvie colliery. His father worked in the Mclaren colliery for 50 years.
