56098 Departing Woolley Colliery

56098 departs from Woolley Colliery with 7Z57 to Fiddlers Ferry Power Station in Warrington. Once one of Yorkshire largest mines, the pit was actually closed in 1987, 4 years before this photograph was taken. It was also here that Arthur Scargill, leader of the NUM started work as a 15 year old.
