Built in 1880 for 500 patients, and based on
a design by John Pritchard, 'The Rest' was
for many years a haven for coal miners and
their families from the South Wales Coalfield.

Injured and sick miners could rest and
recuperate from illness or injuries.

Environmentally-acceptable anthracite coal
continues to keep residents warm during
colder spells and supplies plentiful hot water
throughout the year.

     Technical Details

The provision of restaurant and canteen services
are dependent on a coal fired central boiler house

The boilers are automatically programmed to respond to
changes in external climate.

Fuel is delivered to the Home by Tower Colliery's own
fleet of tanker vehicles.
