The mine at Llanharry supplied the works with many thousands of tons of good quality ore. The mine had been in production for many years since 1900 and was purchased by the Company in 1953. Production varied according to demand and in a good year produced 120,000 tons. These photographs and text are borrowed from a fine book named the East Moors Album - Portrait of Steelworks 1888 - 1978. [1284]
