This colliery site started in 1916 and the exploitation ended in 1969. The buildings were built in 1934. After the closure the buildings served as a zoo. You can still see some remainings of the animal cages. In 1982 the zoo closed and the site was converted to a vehicle dismantling site which ended early 21th century. One of the buildings is still in use and guarded from decay.
First a picture when the colliery was still in use.
And on to the more recent pictures...
