January 12, 201412 yr No part of New Hartley Colliery was left standing after it closed, however there is a memorial to those who died in the disaster in Earsdon. The only thing left of it is what i think is the filled and capped shaft. Type into google map this: 55° 5' 15" N, 1° 31' 42" W I think this will be the old shaft of New Hartley Colliery.
