Why this spot
1856 to 1931 colliery village
Mining village of three rows built by Thomas Spowart and Co after 1860, reaching 1,425 people in 1901 with a Free church, school and Miners' Welfare Institute. The mines closed in May 1931 and miners were ordered out within 14 days; most of the site was destroyed by opencast mining in the 1960s.View source →
