Savile Pit, another old view showing the
tall chimney, engine house and steam-driven winding wheel. Names can be
seen on the coal wagons in the pit yard.
Savile Pit yard
The entrance to the Savile Pit from the
top of Main Street in about 1935. ' Briggs ' - the colliery owners' name
on rail wagons. Different view of workshops, fan house (in middle), coal
washer (right). Tall chimney beyond and now two steam-driven headgears,
newer on left.
Very old Savile Pit loco, about 1910. Used
for 'shunting' coal wagons to different areas of the pit yard and to the
LMS railway line. People unknown. Identification would be appreciated.
