Housing to the east of the site of Newdigate Colliery
A view across what would have been fields to the east of Newdigate Colliery, which closed in 1982. The eastern part of the site has been redeveloped with housing, and there are proposals for more on the land in the foreground of the photo.

Mine monitoring, Market End, Bedworth
Monitoring device on land just to the east of the site of Newdigate Colliery, which closed in 1982. The houses look rather as if they are watching nervously from behind their fence to see what happens next. More housing is proposed for the field in the foreground.

Site of Newdigate Colliery, looking towards Arbury Lane and modern housing beyond
Newdigate Colliery closed in 1982 and almost all traces of it have been removed. The photo shows the view from what would have been the south side of the main colliery buildings along the approach road from Astley Lane. More housing has been proposed for this site.

Site of Newdigate Colliery, Market End, Bedworth
Newdigate Colliery stood on this site and mined coal from 1901 to 1982. It took its name from the owners of the Arbury estate, which owns the land. The above-ground buildings of the colliery stood in the field on the right hand side of this picture, as can be seen in Ordnance Survey maps of the period. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16&lat=52.48152&lon=-1.51019&layers=6&right=ESRIWorld
There is no trace of these buildings above ground today. The site is now a field with a linear wood running along the northern edge, which marks the northern side of the route of the mineral line which carried coal to the rail network and to the Coventry Canal. The woman and her dog visible in this photo are walking along a path that follows the line of the railway towards Bedworth. Parts of the site have been redeveloped with housing and the estate has proposed more in this area.
