Littleton Colliery Long gone. I think it was already closed then. I was actually looking for a waterworks beam engine house but that had been replaced by a little hut. The colliery was the booby prize and now it's a memory.

Farmland near Pillaton in Staffordshire Looking north-west towards Penkridge from the former railway trackbed. To the right (off picture), rape is being grown, but at this end of the field, no crop has been planted yet. The field is bordered on the left by quite a deep stream channel, which meanders north-west into the canal in Penkridge.
