Garth, Bridgend history
Garth built up as a series of terrace houses to the east of the larger settlement of Maesteg, on the eastern bank of the River Llynfi, mainly to provide home for the labourers of the emerging coal industry. In 1864 John Brogden & Sons leased the land at Garth and sank a colliery in 1865 and constructed a large number of coke ovens at the surface. An underground explosion occurred at the mine in 1867, and although no one was injured the mine was closed for a year. The mine re-opened under the ownership of the Tondu and Ogmore coal and Iron company in 1877.
