The twin headstocks and nearby disused mineral railway track are all that remains of an extensive coal mining enterprise carried on by Barber, Walker & Company, who first leased and then bought much of the parish of Brinsley from the Duke of Newcastle. They are a memento of both Brinsley’s mining heritage, and the literary heritage of DH Lawrence, whose father worked at the colliery. Many of Lawrence’s stories are based on this area and the people who lived and worked here.
The headstock of Bestwood Colliery, Nottinghamshire, UK. The adjacent winding house is open to the public as a visitor attraction, however except for two hours on a Saturday morning, the great wheels at the top of this tower are silent. The mine was in operation from 1875 to 1967.
I could barely make out the colliery when I arrived, and visibility didn't get any better while I was there. Volunteers have created a beautiful nature reserve. Unfortunately I barely had a glimpse of it and had to surprise a lady hiding in some bushes picking sloe berries for directions to find my way out through the fog!
Pleasley Colliery is a former English coal mine. It is located to the NW of Pleasley village which sits astride the River Meden on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border.
The colliery is located to the NW of Pleasley village which sits astride the River Meden on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border. It lies 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Mansfield and 9 miles (14.5 km) south of Chesterfield. From the south it commands a prominent position on the skyline, although less so now than when the winders were in operation and both chimney stacks were in place. The colliery is situated at about 500 ft (152m) above sea level and is aligned on a NE-SW axis following the trend of the river valley at this point.
The grounds are now a nature reserve consisting of footpaths and lakes. The colliery underwent renovation and is now a mining museum
Three of the four headstocks at Chatterley Whitfield coal mine are visible in this shot. Slowly the place is being reclaimed by nature. Few constructions look to me as attractive on a skyline as a coal mine headstock. With large spooked wheels and all sorts of geometric shapes, dreary industrial colours, they stand like the most fabulous monument to hundreds of thousands of men and boys who toiled in great danger, often many miles from daylight.
It's now 42 years since coal last came to the surface at this great mine.
Greetings all! This is my final build for the Season 2 Finale of the ABS Builder Challenge.
This was actually an idea of a fellow teammate, Mark. So kudos to him for the great build idea!
One of a pair of headstocks at the former Pleasley Colliery - now a volunteer run mining museum and cafe. The remaining buildings are grade 2 listed.
Like a number of the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Collieries, the former industrial site has been landscaped and site sits at the centre of a country park.
The mine was operational between 1873 and 1983.
Pleasley, Derbyshire, UK
They looked more like massive boat moorings on a pier than tiny tuning posts on a headstock.
I pondered whether to dust off my guitar to make it look more presentable for the camera. But in the end I liked the photo of the headstock better with its dust.
The mine in Brinsley stopped production in 1934,when the coal reserves were exhausted.On a local walk today we came across this,the boy is my eldest Dylan just before he tried to climb this.Due to a panicky motherhen i didnt let him get very far ;0)
Trying out the macro mode on the Leica Q2M. ISO 50,000. This one was simply opened in Lightroom Classic and exported as a jpeg.

One yongnuo 560 ii with honeycomb grid 1/4" on headstock right at 1/128 almost touching the guitar head.
One yongnuo 560 ii on headstock left at 1/32, unmodified.
Flash fired with yongnuo RF 603 Nii wireless flash trigger.
Second flash on slave mode.
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...
