See also this photograph by Nikki Mahadevan, which shows the Five Pits Trail as it crosses Williamthorpe Road:- Image - - - An OS map surveyed in 1914 and published in 1921 shows that this part of the Five Pits Trail, which runs between Grassmoor Country Park through to Timber Lane, largely follows the Midland Railway's Pilsley Extension line. However, some 140 metres ahead the trail diverts left to follow a public right of way and then right along a track, both of which once accessed the long disused Pewit Colliery.
