Pleasley Colliery - South Shaft
The shaft has been surrounded in concrete to provide air to Shirebrooke colliery 3 miles away. This is what saved the headstocks and engines from demolition. The railway yards, coal cleaners/sorters etc were not so lucky.

Pleasley and Clipstone
I have cropped a larger photo quite a lot to show the south headstock. To the left of it can be seen the two winders at the former Clipstone colliery, now under threat.

Pleasley Colliery, roadheader
Drilling machine used to create a new underground roadway or heading. The multi-tipped drill would cut the rock or coal and the row of black vanes would be circulating around the drill head to transfer the detritus to tubs or a conveyor at the rear of the machine.

Pleasley Colliery
A view of the colliery from the landscaped spoil heap. The spoil heap for Sherwood Colliery is to the right. Just behind that is Mansfield woodhouse station (out of view). On a day like today the two massive headstocks for Clipstone colliery were visible.
Looking due East you can usually see the power stations along the Trent valley and on a really clear day you can see Lincoln Cathedral - but you need a good telephoto & a solid tripod to capture it.
Thanks to Stefan for updates to this description.

Pleasley Colliery
A scheduled ancient monument, being developed into a mining heritage site; coal was produced here till 1983. Before nationalisation in 1946 the pit was owned by the Stanton Ironworks which had leased the mineral rights from the father of Florence Nightingale. The engine house and chimney have been renovated and the winders are in the process of being restored by the Friends of Pleasley Pit preservation group.
