Just realised due to the size restraints on the site you cant really magnify the map But if anyone wants a larger scan email me and I'll send one.

Thanks Ron, when I view on my phone I can zoom in quite clearly.
Those pits like John Pit and others have many memories for a much older generation around Standish, Standish Lower Ground and Shevington many of which have been passed onto to our generation who were fortunate not have had to 'go down't pit'. Dangerous, dirty hard work for many brave, proud men and pit brow lassies.
