Seneley Green drift mine.
Photo: Eddie.

I believe these two photographs were taken at the Seneley Green drift mine in the early 50's. Located in Arch lane, Garswood, it was referred to locally, ( by us kids at any rate ) as the clay pit. I recognise my father in both photographs but at the time I was too young to have known any of the others. It seems unlikely that anyone in the photo will still be with us, although despite the poor quality of the pictures,someone may recognise a relative.
