Ashington Colliery, 1967
One of my favourite industrial/railway photos of all time – all rather desolate, the huge spoil tip and the aerial ropeway, combined with a nice industrial steam locomotive. The spoil tip has been completely flattened/removed and the area planted to become a community woodland.
