Iconic Aberfan clock to go on display at the National Museum in St Fagans

A key item linked to the Aberfan disaster in 1966 has been donated to the National Museum Wales' permanent collection.

The clock – which stopped at 9.13am, the moment the disaster struck – will now be part of the collections at St Fagans National Museum of History in Cardiff.

The alarm clock was recovered from the wreckage of a house in Aberfan after a tidal wave of colliery spoil crashed over the village on October 21, 1966.
