Llanbradach history
Coal industry
Llanbradach Colliery was opened in the 1890s and reached peak production in the 1930s. A number of old mine buildings are still visible to the rear of the village.
Llanbradach Viaduct
The Barry Railway opened its main line from Cadoxton South to Trehafod in the Rhondda valley by 1888. The main branch (the Penrhos branch) from Tynycaeau to join the Rhymney Railway was opened on 1 August 1901. The construction of the Llanbradach or Pwll-y-pant viaduct was crucial to the establishment of the busy coal port at Barry, which dealt with nearly 4000 ships a year at its peak. That extension was short-lived however, and due to the railway grouping of 1922, being a duplicated route, succumbed to closure on 4 August 1926 and was decommissioned.
Workmen’s Welfare Hall and Institute
The original Llanbradach Workmen’s Institute, was a Miners’ institute built in the 1900s. It was constructed of timber and corrugated iron and previously fulfilled the functions of village hall, school and a place for religious gatherings. A committee was set up in 1910 to replace the old structure with a modern stone building. The new building was opened in 1913, and included a snooker room, a small cinema, and a reading room and library.
