Today the site is covered in a large raised area with little signs of its past, possibly its own pit heap levelled over the site. I spoke to a local guy who said this mine had an underground fire back in the 1960s? also some houses in The nearby Whitefield estate (early 1970s?) had to be demolished due to the ground below still on fire.
