I may be able to dig up some pics taken at various North's sites in the30s.
I'll have to speak to some relatives.

Edit: I worked with a lot ex miners from the area in a local paper mill, also a few ex railwaymen from Cymer, Tondu etc.

Interesting clip showing the winder operating and the surface of the pit and a slide show of rare photos.
