Gone without trace
From 1879 to 1986, this was the site of Fryston Colliery. Now the entire area covered by the pit and spoil tips has been turned into a country park after a year-long reclamation and landscaping scheme.

Regeneration at Fryston
Most of the houses, plus shops, school and chapel in the isolated colliery village of Fryston (the 'New' prefix is hardly ever used) were demolished in the years preceding and following the closure of the colliery in 1986, but those that remain find themselves in ever more pleasant surroundings. This green and playground were created in 2005 and the old spoil heaps surrounding the village are soon to be landscaped into a recreational area leading down to the River Aire. The heyday of Fryston was famously recorded by local miner and amateur photographer, Jack Hulme. see Wakefield Museum http://www.wakefield.gov.uk/residents/events-and-culture/museums/museum-collections/photography-collection#.U_uAKvldW5h and Fryston Memories http://www.frystonmemories.co.uk/resource.php?articleid=15
