Industrial Relic
The old Pleasley Colliery, sunk in the 1870’s and producing coal until 1983. Perhaps it’s good that it’s been left standing as we may need coal again soon when North Sea gas runs out. It is rumoured that Florence Nightingale turned the first sod at the commencement of the sinking of the pit.
