Thornley Colliery Inn & Path to Wheatley Hill

The ‘new’ route of the Black Path from Wheatley Hill now follows a curve up to an exit on Hartlepool Street, opposite the Colliery Inn, which is the build building at the centre rear of this 2005 photograph. Back in the old days, a line of pit workshops covered the spot where the path now meets the main road. For a 2005 view of the Colliery Inn from High Street, click here.
