Path Through Former Railway

In the 19th century a path passed under the railway at this point, joining the town with Norton Hill Farm. Later the alignment became Pit Road and was the main access to Norton Hill Colliery (No. 1). Today the railway and colliery have gone but a spoil heap remains, merging with the railway embankment, just visible on the left.
