Cadley Hill Colliery..

This Picture portays the demolition of Cadley Hill Colliery after closure, I took the pic off the A444 road bridge on a damp dull day on the way home from work.I grew up around Cadley and as a young boy rode the footplates of the steam shunters in the 1970s, cadley was one of the last to use them, later I worked in and out of there as both a passed Driver and Secondman earlier, the building in the foreground was the weighbridge and the screens and conveyer's can be seen in the main pit building..
