Cwm Coke Works Documentary - One of the UK's Last Abandoned Industrial Giants

The third video of the series we find out what happens when giants fall. It sees us drive down to the south of Wales as we shift our focus from slate to coal mining. This short film follows us on our exploration through the enormous remains of a partially-demolished coke works in Beddau; once adjoined to Cwm Colliery where the coal mined from underground was processed into useful coke fuel on site. This enormous industrial wasteland is perhaps the most gigantic explore we have done to date, and we had to do it justice with a video which captures both the harsh environment it has created as well as how this lost landmark has come to define the surrounding area.

Please subscribe to Beyond the Point for the rest of Abandoned Wales. Our 4th episode continues on this topic, and is a short film comparing the remains of no less than 6 of Wales' collieries. Don't miss it!
