Hello and welcome to another
Hello and welcome to another video!
This week we are in north west Leicestershire, searching for a former coal mine known as Lount colliery.
This day and age, the colliery, that was opened in 1924, and closed in 1968, is a beautiful nature reserve.
It was actually one of the last collieries to be sunk in the area, because the area itself had been mined for centuries before hand, and this was actually started as a bit of a "mop up job" to remove coal that had been previously untouched.
I also couldn't come to this area without a revisit the Newbold Tunnel, which was designed by the great Robert Stephenson in 1833. The Tunnel, which was a horse drawn tramway, was made redundent in the 1870's, but then in 1924, when the Lount colliery was sunk, they needed to use the tunnel to transport coal to the nearby Derby and Ashby branch railway.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this video! Cheers, Steve x
