Barnsley Main Pit

These ruins are a monument to the region's industrial coal mining heritage, and the site of England's worst mining tragedy.

Seems in good standing. Very hard times for the men & families
I remember the coal man delivery and carrying sacks of coal on his back.

A lovely shot of this industrial site. I didn't realise it still existed. It was the site of England's worst ever coal mining disaster. I have seen the memorial to those killed which is on Church Street, near Barnsley town centre, and is well worth seeing if you get chance.
