It's the old drift behind Coedely Club and may have been compleatly covered during the new housing development. Far more interesting is the tunnel that connects two farms in the valley, it was apperently a priest bolt hole in the middle ages, and its entrance still existed 30 years ago. There was also mine tunnel between Penrhiwfer and Gilfach Goch used by "young lovers" to cut the distance by more than half. I would more than happy to help, feel free to email me and we can sort out phone details if it would help. les There is (or was) a tunnel in Tonyrefail.
