1896 map

Marley Hill Colliery (re opened 1841 (abandoned 1815) closed 1983) and Andrews House (lower Right opened 1843, closed 1920) Showing The Bowes Railway cutting through the centre (West to Byermoor - Hobson (Burnopfield) -Dipton - Pontop. East to Kibblesworth, Springwell ) The huge amount of Coke Ovens Dominates the map (All 330 of them) which also dwarfs the Mine. note how close the Housing is to all the activity which appears to be located within the Pit Yard, including a School (near an Air Shaft) and Chapel (top right) Whilst Andrews House looks a tiny concern (Both owned by John Bowes)
