UNDER OUR FEET |
|
MAP OF UNDERGROUND WORKINGS |
 |
|
The map above has been
kindly sent in by Pete of the
Yorkshire
Main Colliery site It depicts just how close the
underground workings of neighbouring coalmines were. As can be seen the
Silverwood Colliery workings are at the left and the Yorkshire Main workings
are on the upper right. Pete informs me that the the numbers 72-76 are
Yorkshire main workings in the Barnsley seam. The reservoir in the centre
gives some perspective of the distance between
the two, it is about the size of a football pitch. |

Face Lighting
The photo above has been kindly sent in by George Johnson who worked at nearby Maltby Colliery. George writes. Face lighting above was 16s Swallowood face, the first one we did---must have been1979/80 110 volt supply to a converter from there 12 volt to 9 or 12 watt fluorescents, quite effective for chock fitters and machine men, gave electricians a few extra cables to look after. |
| Many thanks to Pete and George for the photos above. |
