DIGBY COLLIERY
I'm commenting in connection with 'BullwellBrian's' mention of the same.
Does anyone know why the colliery has the name of Digby? Was it the owner, investor, located near a place of the same name? I know of a village in Lincolnshire called Digby. Iit's south of Lincoln. so a long way from the colliery.

Thanks.
DAVIDW's explanation sounds a 'good bet', as Digby can be used as a forename as well as a surname.
PIANOMAN's comment is questionable. I have discovered from research that the red coal wagons from the 'pit' had the name 'Digby Colliery' painted on them. I've just bought one!
