Hello There,
Have a look at :-
http://www.old-maps.co.uk/oldmaps/index_external.jsp?easting=295000&northing
=188000
There is a railway shown on that map ( earlyish OS Sheet )and also some
lettering below the line itself that I can't make out even when the map is
blown up. From that have a gander at :-

That one might tell you what's gone off in the past. You'll need to have
some sort of address or postcode with that one though. I'd just try Dimbath
lane and see what it comes up with.
Mind you, this is probably academic, there are many experts on that area on
this list who'll probably put you on the right track.

Subject: Coal-mining in Dimbath Valley, Glam
Grateful for any information re following.
During walk just after Easter 'discovered' remains of formation of a
tramway running approx. north-south along Dimbath valley, which itself runs
approx. north from the east-west section of Ogwr Fach valley. Picked it up
at ford at SS 950 880 (1:50000 Ist series sheet 170). It's not marked on
