Harworth Colliery Conveyor - Feb 2013

[muttley]

I was in the area so thought I might as well have a look.

Harworth Colliery used a conveyor belt to move spoil away from the mine. The mine was put on "care & maintenance" in 2005 and not much has happened since.

In total the belt is about 1km long.

It's a conveyor belt.

A long, straight conveyor belt.

You are going to see pictures of a mucky rubber belt.

Lots of pictures of a mucky rubber belt.

Enjoy.

Looking back to the modern headstocks (1989 & 1996)
