Smithy Wood Colliery Site 1850

Ordnance Survey map extract from 1850 showing the site where Smithy Wood Colliery would be established. The site is across the South Yorkshire Railway (later Manchester Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway which went on to become the Great Central railway) from earlier workings linked to Jumble Lane by a tramroad. In later years the area to the east of the railway became the very large Coke and Gas Works.
