Cadw's description
Location
This section of the Rear Revetment Wall extends behind the Former Colliery offices.
History
Navigation Colliery Crumlin was built by the firm of Partridge Jones and Company between 1907 and 1911. The firm was one of the largest coal combines in S Wales, owning 9 collieries in the Gwent valleys. Navigation Colliery was a show-pit of the period with high quality buildings and up-to-date machinery. One of the earliest collieries in S Wales to be built in brick rather than local stone with brick dressings. Closed 1967 and disused since.
Exterior
High wall of red engineering brick on a concrete base extending behind the former office and creating a terrace in front of the main entrance, facing the approach from Crumlin. Wall runs out into rock which is behind other buildings on the main terrace.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with other listed former colliery buildings within this important colliery complex.
