Clifton Colliery Workings Maps.

[Ayupmeducks 1,730]

Now I have a faster internet service I will be scanning the Clifton Pit overlay maps, they were drawn on surface street maps, hence what we call overlay maps. The Clifton Estate isn't on the overlay maps, so it may be an eyeopener for that part. Although workings did not go as far south west as that, just a little north of Ruddington.

Some of the northern workings went up to the University, out to the edge of Beeston and under Hawthorn street in what was the old Meadows, they also went out under the playing fields along the Embankment.

They are quite interesting as the dates of the workings are listed too!

Ayup John,

I would be very interested in seeing these maps when you get them sorted

Cheers
