Newmillerdam colliery c.1982

The car on the far right is actually on the road, school hill, that's how close the pit was.
The tallest building to far right was the screens, you can see where wagons reversed in, by the girder legs.
If you supersize and look closely, there's an incline entering the building towards the left, just below the conveyor gantry. This was the supply drift and there are some tubs actually on the incline.
