Moorgreen Colliery demolition 1986
I was lucky to get this gem from my Dad when he was sorting through some photos recently.
Taken in January 1986, it shows the beginning of the end for Moorgreen Colliery in Nottinghamshire. I took numerous pictures myself prior to demolition but have never seen this one until my Dad gave it to me and i've never seen this view with the headstock down.
What is hard to believe in this day and age of palisade fencing everywhere, is that this is taken from the pavement of the main road that ran through the middle of the colliery. If only we could turn back time!
It took a bit of work to get the photo to this state but hopefully, it was worth it.
