D200 at Oakdale - 2 - a photo on Flickriver

            I have re-editied three of my photos of D200/40122 on the Gwent Valley Explorer railtour of 23 May 1987 at Oakdale, and this is the second of the three. It shows the tour arriving at Oakdale Colliery.

I found this info about Oakdale Colliery on the internet: "Opened in 1911, the colliery was owned by the Oakdale Navigation Collieries Ltd, a subsidiary of the Tredegar Iron Company. It employed a workforce 2,235 at its peak in 1938. Oakdale was linked to Markham and the Celynen North collieries in the late seventies and early eighties, making it the largest colliery in Gwent. The pit closed in 1989 and the tips are now largely removed and landscaped."
