25 May 1962[1] | A high-arched bridge with a single span of 42.7 metres (140 ft) over the River Taff on the north side of the town centre. The bridge, completed in 1756, was the fourth bridge built here by William Edwards, the first having been built ten years earlier. It was the widest span bridge in Britain until the construction of the 1796 Wearmouth Bridge in Sunderland.[1][2] In addition to being Grade I listed, Pontypridd Bridge is designated as a scheduled monument.[3][4] | PGW(Gt)55(MON) |

3 August 1984[5] | Located on the west side of Hopkinstown, the Hetty Engine House was built in 1875 and is nationally important as one of the last colliery engine houses with the engine and headframe surviving in situ. The engine, a modified Barker and Cope double-cylinder engine, raised coal from a depth of 360 metres (1,180 ft).[5][6] Newman describes it as a "monumentally tall rusticated Pennant sandstone engine house"[7] and it is part of the Hetty Pit scheduled monument.[8][9] | 13515 |

3 August 1984[10] | The Hetty shaft of the Gyfeillion Colliery was sunk in 1875 by the Great Western Colliery Company. The headframe, attached to the north side of the engine house, was built in 1902 as a replacement for the original wooden headframe and is one of the earliest surviving steel headframes in the South Wales Coalfield.[10][11] The steep angle of the diagonal legs from the engine house to the headframe are a result of the narrowness of the terrace upon which the colliery is located.[7] The headframe was made by R. Nevill and Co of Llanelly and is part of the Hetty Pit scheduled monument.[8][9][12] | 24872 |
