Image: © derek dye Taken: 1 Nov 1974
The Flocton/Silstone coaling shaft was shut in 1974 because of a buckle in the shaft. The winding ropes have been removed prior to the headgear being demolished. Photo taken from Durham Street at twilight. This photo was scanned in from an old B&W negative, hence quality.
