My cousin Jeff was was the last child to be pulled out alive.
My old man was really pissed and went to his grave still full of anger about the whole tragedy which many like him believed was going to happen because the slag had been dumped upon mountain streams. He worked in all the Merthyr pits from 1919-1954 like many of the miners they knew the area well but the NCB never took any notice of what locals were saying.
56 years today - RIP
