| North Risca Colliery |
| Looking across
the Sirhowy Valley from the Sirhowy Railway (near
Newtown, Crosskeys) towards the "Risca Pit" situated at Coed y Prince. The footbridge across the River Sirhowy can be seen towards the right of the photograph. This gave access to the village of Full Moon. The present day footbridge across the River Sirhowy which leads to the Sirhowy Valley Country Park is situated in the same place. The whitewashed building situated to the left of the Colliery is a farmhouse which was known as Ty Prince. Out of view (to the left) was the location of Rock Vein Colliery.
