18. Q3 Work on the shafts at Markham was started in 1911. By 1912 the colliery was in full production but this coincided with a general strike. At that time the average wage of a miner employed in Welsh coalfield was 5 shillings. The effect of the strike was that in 1914 minimum wage laws were introduced. Markham Colliery ceased production and was closed in 1986. Now, there is nothing left of the colliery, there is grass where it used to be. Level 4
