This pit is now "mothballed" and we all know what that probably means. Pity, as Rossington coal burns very well in our boiler at Claymills Pumping Station. This is a difficult location to get to and required a bit of a walk for what I consider to be a rather indifferent picture for a late afternoon in August (not a GOTY candidate).
