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. Photograph 1980 when building was less derelict shows very overhanging eaves to N section which also has a long gabled roof ventilator; the two sections are shown linked but with separate roofs.
A long, low and narrow building in two sections, 7 bays to N and 6 to S, each with doorway. Of high quality red and yellow engineering brick, formerly with Welsh slate roof, now lost, tall moulded finials to ends, 2 chimneys to S wing. 3 small round-arched openings now blocked and small rectangular ventilator to S gable end.
Lined with white tiles.
Listed notwithstanding its poor condition as an integral part of this important colliery complex. Group value with other listed former colliery buildings.
