You could try the local county record office as they may well hold the inquest reports, as well as local papers reporting it. If it was a major incident then you may well find it reported nationally in the Times newspaper, which is available online through subscription, or free through a library.
I have also been trying to find out about a colliery recently - mine was in West Yorkshire and tracked down the records to West Yorkshire Archives, although they didn't hold anything for the time period I was after. The National Coal Board had deposited the records with them, so it could be the same case in Wales and they will be in the local record office...

The biggest collection of records nationally is here The Coal Mining History Resource Centre
It may be worth emailing Ian Winstanly as I think this is an ongoing project.Barbara
