The western end of the stocking area, where coal was held in trains before despatch. The railway bridge (left of image) which crossed over Lord's Head Lane to the pit head has been demolished, unlike the former Dearne Valley Railway bridge which survives as part of the cycle route. The bridge also carried the sharply-curved connection to the LNER line to Mexborough.
