A view of the colliery from the landscaped spoil heap. The spoil heap for Sherwood Colliery is to the right. Just behind that is Mansfield woodhouse station (out of view). On a day like today the two massive headstocks for Clipstone colliery were visible. Looking due East you can usually see the power stations along the Trent valley and on a really clear day you can see Lincoln Cathedral - but you need a good telephoto & a solid tripod to capture it. Thanks to Stefan for updates to this description.
