Headstock No.2, Thoresby Colliery, Summer 2016
It's unusual for me to shoot without use of the tripod, so excuse me for the grain! Was a tiny hole in the side of the headstock No.1 cages perfect for a handheld shot just after the sun had faded behind the horizon.
I gave Thoresby plenty of visits over 2016, enough for me to create a comprehensive album covering just about everything on site. Despite arriving a little late, considering the Colliery closed in July 2015 very little had actually taken place at this point, the next months visit in October 2016, my last visit to Thoresby Colliery and much of the coal preparation plant was missing and the rail rapid loader completely demolished. As I type now in 2019, next to nothing in the photo above would now exist, it's simply a field with a bit of rubble in it now...
