Opened by the Ffaldau Steam Coal Company to produce house and steam coals. Ffaldau Colliery employed 580 men in 1913, which had increased to 250 men on the surface and 1,000 men underground in 1934. The National Coal Board merged the colliery with the neighbouring Gawr (Ocean) Colliery in April 1975 and the renamed Garw/Ffaldau Colliery was closed ten years later in 1985.
