Sherwood Colliery, Mansfield Woodhouse
Now long gone. This shows the upcast shaft and clouds of steam winder exhaust. Despite attempts at silencing this still had quite an exciting bark and was not popular with the neighbours.

Sherwood Colliery, downcast headgear and heapstead
A complete view and worthy of a geograph.
The pit is long gone and after 26 years I have no idea which way I was pointing.

End of an era, Sherwood Colliery
Winding engine house for the big Fraser & Chalmers cross compound steam winding engine that was used for "coal-pulling". This is visible through the hole in the wall. It was still in use as evidenced by the exhaust steam at the top of the image. It was however in the throes of conversion to electric power. The drum was being retained and a big motor was ready for coupling up. In a few day's time the big steam engine was to be broken up and unceremoniously despatched through the big hole in the wall. One of the engine drivers had written a poignant poem but I was unable to get a copy of it (pity).
The 1980s marked the final knockings of the steam winding engine in the UK and I'm glad I was there to see it.
