- Summary:
- Aberfan: Aberfan is a small coal mining village about eight kilometers south of Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales. In 1966, Pantglas junior school was led by headmistress, Anne Jennings and her 10 teachers. There were 240 pupils. On Friday the 21st of October that year at about 9.15 in the morning, just after the children had finished singing All Things Bright and Beautiful at assembly and were heading for their classrooms, waste tip number seven of the local colliery collapsed, slid down Merthyr Mountain and engulfed the school, 20 houses and a farm.
