Join me on my merry trek of old ruins, cinemas, railways and things that just catch my attention around Yorkshire and the UK. John.
View this post on Instagram Went looking for signs of an old 19th century colliery. Didn't see anything obvious but here is the bridge built across the valley from the Golf club house to the new course built on the site of the old colliery and fields after the land where the previous course was (on the same side of the valley as the club house) was bought from the Earl of Rosse and given to the locals as a park. This at the northern edge of the Nottinghamshire/Yorkshire coalfield and the coal is near the surface and was worked out by the end of the 19th C #northcliffepark #northcliffecolliery #bluebells A post shared by John | Exploration and history (@merrytrek) on May 30, 2019 at 3:41am PDT
