Foxfield Light Railway at Dilhorne Colliery, 1970
A shot taken during the early days of the Foxfield Light Railway, for comparison with those of the present day SJ9744 : Dilhorne Colliery. This was at the time the railway's operating centre, using many of the sidings in the former colliery area. These have since been removed, basically leaving only the main line. Several of the colliery buildings visible in this picture no longer exist, and the spoil heap has been landscaped.
