The Pit Heap
This pit heap was really high! They created it using stones out of the mine. Sometimes they’d tip coal as well as stones and a few of us would go out and fill a bag with coal. I remember it burning, not like a huge blaze, but always smouldering. And we used to climb up and then sledge down on either your mam’s tray or a shovel. They started to remove it after the Aberfan disaster.
