EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, titled "Brodsworth Main Colliery EPW012843," offers a glimpse into the rich history of Adwick-le-Street in South Yorkshire. Taken in May 1925, this image showcases the impressive Brodsworth Main Colliery and its surrounding landscape. The colliery itself was established in 1905 and remained operational until its closure in 1990. Its significance as a vital hub for coal mining during the early 20th century is evident from the various pit head structures visible in the photo. The intricate network of railway sidings and coal trucks further emphasizes the bustling industrial activity that once thrived within these grounds.
