Awsome little site with some amazing history
The colliery at Annesley was first sunk in 1865 and closed during the 1990's. When it closed it was the oldest working colliery in Nottinghamshire. The entire area was designated as a conservation area in 2000, which meant nothing could be demolished. During 2004 though, some 16 buildings were demolished by the owners, illegally.
Firstly the impressive headstocks
