This south-westerly facing photograph is of the Five Pits Trail and is looking in the direction of Wolfie Pond from which a number of routes are possible, including, as the signage suggests the trail to Grassmoor.
At this point the trail is following the route of the Great Central Railway's Williamthorpe Colliery Branch line.
- - -
The Williamthorpe Colliery was serviced by one branch line that was operated by two different railway companies. An OS map surveyed in 1914 and published in 1921 shows that this section of the line was operated by the Great Central Railway. However, some 250m ahead the line passed under Chesterfield Road at which point ownership changed to the Midland Railway. Continuing westward the Midland Railway's Williamthorpe Colliery Branch line had a junction with its Pilsley Extension line in an area now known as Wolfie Pond.

Signs and flag by Chesterfield Road
Drawing attention to the availability of poultry for sale. The board says "Pullets - POL". "POL" apparently stands for "point of lay". The flag certainly works in attracting notice.
