  2. West Sleekburn Colliery Post Closure

    Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to Gary Park's topic in History Hollow
    @Gary Park - these are the only three photos of the Colliery I can find. They were posted on Facebook - Past Times group - and the aerial shot is posted with an estimated date of c1956 but with no evidence for that date :-

  3. West Sleekburn Colliery Post Closure

    Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) replied to Gary Park's topic in History Hollow
    Can't find any aerial pics (yet) of the West Sleekburn Colliery. The old maps show a few buildings but they aren't always reliable. The Durham Mining Museum (DMM) site records the first output of coal as 1882 and the first map I can find with the colliery on is 1898 and it shows an air shaft in the area of the building you are looking at @Gary Park. If I find any aerial photos, and I remember why I'm after them, I will post them
