Very nice find. I agree they do look a lot older but acording to my book, Tonhir was only started in 1902. Lovely stonework though

Ton-hir Colliery

Interesting pics, I notice that there appears to be a longish building on the map but it does not show up on FlashEarth. Any ideas?

the longish building is where the tunnel is so i think it is showing a tunnel not a building,the airshaft on the right of your map i did not know about i went to the one on the left google map linky to show it hope this helps

I was up near there a few weeks back, mooching around looking for old railway tunnels.
Nice pics. Wayne

Air Shafts.

Thanks, I was looking at the wrong shaft.
The larger map image shows the Google pic shaft on the left and an unnamed building on the bottom right. I'll have to have a walk around there.
