A SILVER PIN BROOCH TO COMMEMORATE THE 1894 ALBION COLLIERY DISASTER engraved with a detailed scene of the colliery, flanked by raised flowers either side, inscribed 'A SOUVENIR ALBION COLLIERY DISASTER JUNE 23rd 1894', complete with case for A Fuhrer Treorchy & Pentre, hallmarks for Birmingham 1894 Provenance: by family descent, consigned Cardiff office Auctioneer's Note: Cilfynydd is a village just South of the town of Pontypridd in South Wales. In the Victorian era it was an archetype Welsh pit village built around the Albion Colliery which was sunk in 1884. Before there was no settlement of note, just a few scattered farms supporting a population of less than 100. Within a few years of coal production starting, terraced houses clung to the valley hillsides running north-south in a series of parallel rows and the local population had grown to over 3,000. There was a school, several chapels, pubs and a workmen's hall forming the traditional building blocks of a typical tight-knit community. But the Albion survives in the memory of more than just the local population. It is more widely remembered for the devastating explosion which took place there in 1894, a disaster which claimed the second worst loss of life in any British colliery accident, only the Senghenydd explosion of 19 years later took a greater toll. For 7 years after the colliery was opened, Cilfynydd flourished until disaster struck in June, 1894. Like many collieries in South Wales, the Albion's coal produced large amounts of fire-damp, a highly inflammable gas. On Saturday, 23rd June, 1894 at around 3.50pm two loud explosions were heard at the surface of the colliery. Dust, debris and smoke rushed out of the two shafts and men at the surface were blown over. No one knew for sure how many men were underground initially. It took until the inquest later that summer, for the authorities to establish that 290 men and boys had been killed out of 295 working underground. Such a traumatic event could have killed the village but, with remarkable resilience, the people rebuilt their shattered lives and by September 1894 the pit was back in full working order producing nearly 45,000 tons of coal a month. It was to stay at the heart of the community until its closure in September 1966. The box for the brooch is marked for Adolph Fuhrer who was a well-known south Wales valleys jeweller Condition Report: slightly misshapen at back, original and commensurate with age
