The last remains

Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 31 Jan 2010

These stumps of steelwork are all that remains of the remaining headframe of the former Annesley Colliery. Although it could have remained as a witness to what was the major industry in the area, the developer was much more interested in being able to get a couple or so more houses onto the site, and efforts to save it were unavailing.
