Looking towards Rowlands Gill from the other side of the tunnel. As mentioned above the Colliery would have been on the left. As to be expected little trace of it remains. The Coke ovens were straight ahead from here.
The Tunnel as it is today, notice how the once bricked up entrance has had a hole smashed into it.
Looking into the tunnel. The cutting the tunnel opened out into has been filled in up to just below the hatch at the top of the arch. The Colliery was on the left-hand side of the tunnel.
Looking back out in the direction of the engine shed, which would have been dead ahead from here. Sadly there are no traces of it. From here we followed the course of the line towards Alexandra street and discovered a number of former “drift mine”
