Ian / anyone, do you have any knowledge of the coal pit/s below holbrook towards coxbench? In area of nether lane and portway. looks like a sough tail in the field Ripley side of the riding stables / nether farm.
Owner of the chimney i am re-pointing says way back the open pit in the field was allowed, by the 'big house'. to be dug by all locals during the war. ( not Iraq!) .
Would be interested in any info', Ta.
