Thanks, that would be great!

Was the colliery called Waterloo after the coal seam?

The coal seam in the area i think was called upper and lower Waterloo (hence the request for clarification).

Hello Again...it would appear that the new owners of the land where Waterloo Colliery was located are looking for the shafts I'm led to believe to cap them.
