A Pre-War View of Thornley Colliery |
|
I bought this view of Thornley Colliery from a market stall in Durham in the early 1990s. The picture sees to date from the pre-war period. Seen from the railway line, the distinctive ‘battlement’ design on the pit winding gear to the left is especially well showcased here.
