On a winters day with nothing much to do,
I take a ride without a clue,
and here I end up, after a wrong turn or two.
Annesley Colliery is located just outside the village of Annesley, and Newstead in Nottinghamshire. It was originally sunk in 1864 into the Top Hard seam by the Worswick family who were originally from Leicestershire
The Top Hard seam was mined for at least 50 years until the shaft was extended down to the Deep Hard seam in 1914. This was worked until 1950. At some point during this time the Deep Soft seam was opened and work until 1983.
More history (when I finish it) and photos here
