About Aberfan
- The Aberfan disaster of 21 October 1966 remains one of the most devastating events in post-war British history. The National Coal Board's spoil tip on the hillside above the village had been built on a natural spring, and after days of heavy rain the waterlogged tip became unstable and collapsed, sending a wave of slurry down the hillside at speed. The disaster prompted a fundamental change in the regulation of colliery spoil tips across Britain, and the subsequent inquiry — led by Lord Justice Edmund Davies — was highly critical of the National Coal Board's management of the tip. The community's response to the disaster, and its determination to rebuild and remember, has been an inspiration to communities facing tragedy across the world.
