Abertridwr (Welsh: ''the mouth of the three waters'') is a village in the county borough of Caerphilly, Wales, situated three miles north-west of Caerphilly town. Like many villages and towns in the area, Abertridwr was a coal mining community within the South Wales coalfield. ==Windsor Colliery== (詳細はUniversal Colliery in Senghenydd for ventilation purposes. On 1 June 1902, a platform collapsed in the mine, tipping nine men into 25 feet (8 m) of water, which had gathered in the sump. Three escaped drowning by clinging onto floating debris, but the other six died.〔 The colliery was nationalised, and was run by the National Coal Board from 1946. During 1976, it became linked underground with the Nantgarw colliery, and both collieries were worked as one unit, with coal winding and processing via Nantgarw. From 1976, production was concentrated at Nantgarw, with Windsor kept open for ventilation, methane extraction, and as an emergency exit.〔http://www.welshcoalmines.co.uk/GlamEast/Windsor.htm〕 The whole Nantgarw/Windsor unit closed on 6 November 1986. Tyn y Parc (Welsh: ''house in the park'') housing estate now occupies the site. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abertridwr, Caerphilly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
