Subject: Owners of Great Western Colliery
I have seen in print (don't know where) that Great Western
Colliery, Pontypridd, was owned by Great Western Railway but all the
directories etc I've ever extracted list it as belonging to Great Western
Colliery Co (Ltd). I do know that, at least, some GWRly directors were on
GWCCo board, but did GWRly ever own the GWCCo or the Colliery directly?
Grateful for any help. TYIA, Rgds,
Ken Smith.
