Chatterley Whitfield Colliery, Stoke-on-Trent
Chatterley Whitfield is unique as it features the best surviving collection of historic pithead buildings and structures in England. As a result of this, the site was designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument by English Heritage in 1993.
In August 2005 the National regeneration agency English Partnerships announced £14m funding, through the National Coalfields Programme, to transform some 50 ha of spoil heaps on the former Chatterley Whitfield colliery site, into picturesque parkland. This view is taken from one of the spoil heaps.
