6th pit overhead conveyer around closure

Lumley had a very large Brickworks that amazingly outlived its Mine by over 20 years, some old buildings also remained long after closure including a large chimney however all remains have been swept away, This conveyer that branched over the main Fencehouses to Chester-Le-St road (B1284) went straight to the Brickworks, Note the railway lines in the foreground, these linked up to "Lumley Colliery (1,2,3 pits).
