Bank Hall Colliery
View along the old mineral line from the site of Bank Hall Colliery sidings, now landscaped, towards Sandy Holme Aqueduct on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, the overflow from which joins the River Brun on the left. The half mile line to the BR exchange sidings at Burnley Bank Top was worked by industrial locos including a Barclay 0-4-0ST named 'Carbon', which was unusual in being fitted with a Giesl Ejector. The colliery closed in 1971 and the trackbed is now a public footpath.
