YORKSHIRE MAIN COLLIERY

AND OTHER LOCAL MINES

OTHER COLLIERIES/ THE STUART TOMLINS COLLECTION

Many thanks to Stuart for sending in the following pictures which he took himself and for which he holds the copywright.

Although i have pages for some of the collieries already on the site i have decided to keep the collection together due to some of the unique images captured on film including the dismantling of many of the mines, as you will see, being in the right place at the right time does make a difference.

They include images from Grimthorpe, Hikleton, Hope, Nostell, Houghton, Kiveton, Sharlston, Thorne, Silverwood and Ollerton collieries
