Bryncoch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bryncoch is a suburb of Neath which has considerably expanded in size with the construction of new housing estates. It was once the principal site of the Main Colliery Company, an important employer in the area up until 1928. The philanthropist, Howel Gwyn MP, lived at the now demolished Dyffryn mansion on the outskirts of the village and built the parish church of St Matthew on his estate in 1871.
Bryncoch translates into English as Red (coch) Hill (Bryn).
