Dropped into Clipstone Colliery today as a rumour had been flying around that the Twin Headgears were going to be demolished after all!!
By all accounts English heritage may get over ruled re their listing. Does any one have the full picture please as this would be a true disaster if they are knocked down as they are as much a part of the Sherwood forest area as Robin Hood and trees!
The demolition men are there and have demolished all but the headgears and winding house. 😞
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh Creeper!!!!!

it would be a great shame to see these go after years of passing them by with out me even taking a photo of them.
What a shame as quite a few of the nottingham headgears have already disapeared.

Apparently UK coal have applied for a demolition order even tho listed... they are allowed to do this... the rumour today off someone on site is that English heritage are fighting this... Hence why I put so much data on when I entered the mine onto the register today. Crying Shame if they do. :thumbdown:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh Creeper!!!!!
