Colliery memorial at Chopwell
Colliery memorial at Chopwell
Disused colliery winding engine wheels are often seen displayed in this way in north-eastern pit villages as a tribute to their coal mining history. This one at Chopwell is a little different in that it's a monument to those miners recorded as having suffered accidental death between 1782 and 1966.
