NZ2973 : The site of Backworth 'C' pit
near to Seghill, Northumberland, Great Britain
The site of Backworth 'C' pit.
The trees mark the site of one of the many pits of the Backworth Colliery. This one closed in the 1890's but Backworth and the surrounding villages had dozens of other pits, now all vanished. The cows now graze on the old spoil heap!
