Lumley 3rd pit and West Pit

The only picture I can find for the 3rd Pit, and great difficulty finding 1st and 2nd Pit. The Durham Mining Museum http://www.dmm.org.uk/colliery/l009.htm lists the 5th pit as NZ296497, which puts it close to Great Lumley housing estate, but have not seen it marked on "old maps", also have not been able to find the 4th pit?
The group of pits appear to be somewhat chaotic and scattered over a large area (for instance 9th pit is close to Lord Lambtons estate which was the Mine owner, at Whitehouse Farm near the chester road A183. This shaft actually led off from the 1st and 2nd Pits and has Tunnels marked on old maps as its wagonway traveled through rough dean/ valley to the North, But have not found any remains in the wooded area.
