The colliery was situated at the base of the chimney seen in this image: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3644/...d42b6059ee.jpg Grid reference SD 76540 26625. It does not appear on your information because it is an unofficial working by miners who were presumably on strike in possibly 1921 or 1926 as Coalboard suggests. It would have been closed down as soon as the strike was over and never appeared in official records or on maps. ;) |
has anyone any information on the map showing the mines i live on manchester rd baxenden and there was a massive subsidence in yard of 536 can anybody help with any information
|
i forgot to mention this happened on sunday night the coal authority have taken control of the situation but wont give us any info on the workings shown on the map
|
The Coal Authority may not have detailed plans of the workings. You can go to view what they have at the Mining Record Office, Bretby near Mansfield, by appointment. They have a website.
The last thing they will do is admit liability if major subsidences occur, it becomes a long drawn out legal matter then. In general they are supposed to have historical liability for pre 1947 workings but in practice they will do their best to get out of that liability. I'd call at your local solictors for the free advice they are supposed to give |
