    Thank you for sharing. It's hard to believe that this mine existed - there's so little left.

    That is the tripper conveyor, constructed 1988 part of the colliery improvement programme 'coal outloading scheme', I worked for the contractor that did most of the civil engineering works (Brims).

    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.
