A sad portrayal, last evening's (T.V.) of Kenningley Colliery's last days, and the brave faces put on by the miners' involved in its closure. and their unsure future.
was the entrance to this pit somewhere near Boars Head

Yes Jont65 It was on the left hand side going down Chorley Rd from Boars Head I worked for a haulage co one truck used
to do 10 loads a day to Standish Bleach Works all loaded
with a spade that was hard graft in those days.D.C.
