Harworth Main Colliery: View looking westerly to the remaining complete south abutment of overbridge FCB3 that ran across Styrrup Lane, that runs between the B6463 at Styrrup village and the A60 Doncaster to Worksop Road. This bridge was on a 5 mile branch off a branch latterly, as it left the Harworth Colliery branch at a triangular junction east of the A60 to connect only to the Firbeck Colliery which closed in 1968. It looped around to then cross under the A60 south of Langold village to reach the colliery.
