Navigation Colliery Crumlin was built by the firm of Partridge Jones and Company between 1907 and 1911. The firm was one of the largest coal combines in S Wales, owning 9 collieries in the Gwent valleys. Navigation Colliery was a show-pit of the period with high quality buildings and up-to-date machinery. One of the earliest collieries in S Wales to be built in brick rather than local stone with brick dressings. Closed 1967 and disused since.
A very tall, slender and tapering square chimney of high quality red engineering brick with a stepped brick cornice and plinth.
Listed II* as an important building in this nearly complete colliery complex of national importance. Group value with other listed former colliery buildings.
