These excellent photographs were supplied very kindly by Martyn Thomas, who was brought up in the shadow of the colliery itself in Brookside Row. Apologies are due for any loss in quality owing to the scanning, compression and size restrictions required for loading onto the website. More images (part 2) can be accessed here with older pictures and a history of the colliery found here.
