Awful news, mate. The South Wales Miners’ Library and Archive is housed in the old coach house, it would have been a tragedy if that collection had been lost. |  |

Very lucky they moved it out of the main house into the old coach house in 2006.
A wonderful history of miner's institute libraries and private collections.
I was lucky to spend some time in there when it was first housed in Maes yr Haf House, Sketty and again when it moved to Hendrefoilan House in the early 1980's. |  |

Very lucky, mate. I spent countless hours at Hendrefoilan House in my younger days. An invaluable resource for scarce documents. Its loss would have been irreplaceable. | |

Shouldn't they all be digitised now? | | | |

It’s very likely the bulk of the archive has been digitalised by this stage, so the text will be available, but there’s nothing to compare with the thrill of holding extremely rare, original documents in your hands. | |
