Hesketh Pit

The Hesketh shaft at Chatterley Whitfield Colliery was the last to be sunk on the site (1914-1917) and the deepest at 640 yards. I remember watching this pit proudly at work back in 1975 and now the state of the whole colliery site is extremely depressing as it rots into the ground.

I thought this might be a photo of a disused pithead. Nice work. I'm just going to look up the location.
