I hated the Herrington pit heap.Herrington pit heaps were a local landmark. We knew when we were nearly home when we could spot the heaps from the A690.
I had an auntie who lived in Lanton street when I was a little kid. They only used the back door to access the house the front door and front room were never used. It seemed to be a theme for the people who lived in those houses. Stepping out of the front door you were greeted with the sight of a f***ing great pit heap, with smoke coming off it. It scared the shit out of me because I knew what had happened at Aberfan. I had terrible visions of the thing suddenly heading towards the house and goodbye me. Thankfully it never happened.
