SJ9913 : Pye Green Valley and Pye Green Valley School
taken 17 years ago, near to Hednesford, Staffordshire, England
Pye Green Valley and Pye Green Valley School
Pye Green Valley was the location of the former West Cannock Collieries, Nos. 1, 2 and 3, a prosperous coal mining area providing local employment within the Cannock area for a large workforce. Several seams of coal were mined at moderate depths under and around the Pye Green Valley. Plans going back to 1880 show the site to be principally occupied by West Cannock Colliery, with colliery buildings associated with pits Nos. 1 and 4 to the north and pit No. 3 in the south.
