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..

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

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

I'm impressed with those tower cranes which took much more skill to operate than the newer ones. I really appreciate these photos and I sent a link to a retired US navy sailor so he could appreciate this site too. Thanks.
