An old house in an old colliery
The former engine house of Hanham Colliery is one building that has remained after the closure. The pit originally opened in 1906 but conditions were poor and work difficult. When the General Strike of 1926 happened the pit was deemed unprofitable and closed. The area was partly redeveloped with industrial units occupying the site. However, the old winding engine house was left derelict and largely smothered by vegetation but was saved recently and is now a business.

An old stone post out on its own
The familiar roadside furniture on Memorial Road also has an older stone post, typical of gateposts of the past. Perhaps this one should have been removed as there is no other to pair it with. In the not too distant past the area was fairly rural, although it is not far from the (now lost) Hanham Colliery.

The mail on Memorial Road
A standard pillar box stands along with a larger grey unit on Memorial Road. The road was formerly named Pit Road due to the colliery of the early twentieth century. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6557673 for a closer look at the result of standing under a tree.
