Wigan Album

I,ve ridden and watched off road trials riding over on Elerbeck but this is the first time i've seen an actual picture of the pit. It is quite a big site and to my knowledge hasn't changed much. must get the mountain bike out and have a ride up for a mooch. Good find John :)

Glad to see someone is interested. I visited a couple of times in 66 or 67 when they were dismantling the place. I have a few more - I'll have to dig them out and post them.

Thanks John, keep 'em coming :)

Has a ex pitman I like looking at our history of mining be it the surface or underground
