Description: The Colliery closed on February 3rd 1968.
Website contributor Keith Stone very kindly suggests that the image is more likely to date from the 1920s-30s than the 1950s, as originally listed: "I would put it as 1920s or 1930s for two reasons. One, in the 1950s the man would have been wearing a safety helmet. Two, he would have had the standard electric cap lamp, not just the oil lamp shown".
