Tower Colliery is located near the village of Hirwaun, in Glamorgan, South Wales.The colliery, established in 1864, has been linked in the past with nearby mines, none of which remain operational.Up to 14 seams have been worked at Tower Colliery and the neighbouring mines within the lease area of Tower.British Coal considered Tower to be surplus to requirements, because of market constraints, and the mine was closed shortly before privatisation.It reopened in 1995, when it was bought out by the management and men who worked the colliery prior to nationalisation.
