The Howell Coath Co. tramway did not run from Trecco to Newton, it ran from what is now Georgian Close/Ger y Llyn/ Heol Fair to a railway siding near what is now Kingshill. The tramway from Trecco towards Porthcawl was possibly operated by the Barry Sand & Gravel Co. but ownership of the tramway from Trecco to Newton beach is, as yet, unknown.
