The above map shows the area around 1890 before the community
developed and the school opened. Although Abercraf Colliery is
open next to the Neath and Brecon Railway, there is little else
in the area apart from a scatter of farms and holdings with Abercraf
itself just a small hamlet at the top of the map by the River
Tawe.
