541 individual tiles commemorating the miners killed in the two Universal Colliery Disasters created in school and community workshops at the Senghenydd Heritage Centre. With each one individually sponsored for £50 these tiles provided a total of £27,000 of match funding for a heritage lottery grant which made a significant contribution to the cost of the Wales National Mining Memorial.
