The Navigation Colliery: Care, Craft & Conservation

Site analysis exploring the social disconnect between the site and the nearby town of Crumlin. Crumlin comprises of two residential communities, Sofrydd and Treowen, which are separated by steep topography causing the independent communities to develop distinct characters with a strong rivalry. The catastrophic decision to build the A467 through the centre of Crumlin Town Centre hasn’t helped the division within the town and provides another physical barrier between the two communities.
