  • Incidentally a Mining engineer once told me Thornley was the Colliery that caused The NCB to change the rules about dumping all the demolition down the shafts, Thornley had cleared a few years when both shafts opened up! its cause was the many ducts
  • Brilliant period shot !
  • Lovely colour shot (ICLOK)
