Have a look at Paul Deakins " Collieries in the N Staffs Coalfield" book. Good pics of Silverdale Colliery itself aswell as Little Sherriff & Bank Top. Still see one of the Little Sherriff lads occasionly & my uncle drove Bank Top down in the late 60's (ish)
Not much to see now unfortunatly.
We inhabit an island made of coal, surrounded by a sea full of fish. How can we go wrong.......
