The remains of Hatfied Colliery

Seen from the train, these disused sets of winding gear dating from 1922 are all that's visible of a once large colliery. Chris Allen provides a closer picture and some history SE6511 : Hatfield Colliery along with a note that the winding gear is Grade II listed (list entry 1430590). The listing gives the reasons for listing as their rare survival (the colliery was in use until 2015) and forms of construction.

Hatfield bus turnround â 1978

Compare with the same location in 2010 Link . The bus is South Yorkshire PTE 1209, formerly Doncaster Corporation 209, a Daimler Fleetline new in 1967, operating on the service from Doncaster to Dunscroft which the PTE, as successor to Doncaster Corporation, shared with a number of small independent operators. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Link
