Lady Victoria Colliery

The Lady Victoria elevated walkway, looking east from the National Mining Museum on a Sunday morning in October 2019 see image 70784. The final span linking the walkway with the pithead baths was demolished long ago, with the houses of Colliery View now occupying the site. Similarly, off to the right, modern housing on Lingerwood Walk and Lingerwood Road, stands on the site of the eponymous pit. A legacy of the old arrangement is the cast iron bus shelter still standing alongside the layby. Today the layby is used as a parking area by staff at the adjacent mining museum offices.
