The caption is unclear. "Building a 60 ft high 'vat' of sulfur" would be clearer.

I used to live in the cottage, the end building of the terrace facing towards the camera, in the lower right side of the screen

Hi there, I know its been a while since you posted the comment, but could you add a note to exactly where you mean by highlighting over the image where you lived?
keen earth said:
" The Cottage" is marked on the Photograph
keen earth said:
I believe "The Cottage" predated the Colliery. The were many "drift" mines just to the south. A stone quarry obliterated many of these, just off Benwell Lane.

I have posted some photographs which may be of interest on my home site
