  In the bottom photo, on the right, you can see the tower of the Stanford White designed Madison Square Garden, built in 1890, demolished 1925. If you look closely, you can make out the nude statue of the goddess Diana, on the very top.

  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:

  Really cool pic and history.
