Rees Reynolds
Obituary 1906 [1]
We regret to have to place on record the death of Mr. R. Reynolds, one of the oldest of the old school of colliery managers in South Wales. He began his career in the Plymouth Collieries of Anthony Hill, and for the long period of forty years carried on the business. His output, though comparatively small at first, soon attained considerable proportions. It was his pride that during his long experience no accident of great importance arose. After doing good service at Plymouth he left, and entered the service of the Ocean Collieries, and eventually that of the Maritime, from which he retired, and died, a few days ago, in his eighty-sixth year. He was one of the few veterans left who had an intelligent recollection of the early coal days, and personally took part in the remarkable development of the steam coal trade from a few tons weekly to 20 millions per annum.
