GB0218 D3411 Gwent Record Office This catalogue was digitised by The National Archives as part of the National Register of Archives digitisation project NRA 40585 The National Archives GWENT RECORD OFFICE Catalogue of plans and drawings of surface buildings, largely pithead baths and of details of fixtures and equipment relating to collieries in Gwent. Some items are of a standard nature and have relevance outside the County. 1916- 1982 D3411 County Hall, Cwmbran ABS/JR Introduction This collection of plans and drawings formed part of a larger collection, which had been held by British Coal's Midlands and Wales Group at its Cannock offices in Staffordshire. The plans and drawings relate to surface buildings, mainly pit head baths, and also to details of fixtures and equipment. These records were initially transferred, with the approval of the Public Record Office, from British Coal to the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, at Plas Crug, Aberystwyth. Following discussions with Welsh County Archivists it was agreed that Gwent Record Office should sort and list this particular collection and distribute the plans to the appropriate record offices. This took place and large quantities of plans and drawings, following the initial sorting were sent to Glamorgan, West Glamorgan and Dyfed archives services. Smaller quantities of drawings were at the same time despatched to Gloucester, Bristol, Devonshire, Nottinghamshire and Wiltshire Record Offices. This collection consists of all plans and drawings relating to Gwent and those drawings which do not relate to any specific locality. Most of the items are of the period following Nationalisation, but a few drawings relate to the colliery companies which owned the various collieries before the National Coal Board. 2 ABERCARN COLLIERY D3411. 1. 1 Plans of sewer, and of drain, scales 1/500 and 1 foot to 1/16 inch, 5 Dec. 1957.
