  Westoe Colliery in the distance close to the coast. The massive head gear can be seen above the shaft and coal conveyors to the left. A mine which should never have closed..

• Don Tate said:

  A large area already been levelled. Would that have been housing???

• optimal chicken said:

  Don Tate A fair bit yes. I'd say about a third of that open space still survives - possibly less.

• Don Tate said:

  Thanks

• Paul Jarvie said:

  The Sydney Morning Herald Wednesday 22 August 1894 THE GRETA COLLIERIES. GRETA, TUESDAY. Great anxiety is felt regarding the result of the tendering for the Greta collieries property. Tenders closed to-day. A large number of miners are still here in the hope of the pit starting work again.
