taken 2 years ago, near to Sholden, Kent, England

Colliers Gate
Colliers Gate
The access between South Wall and Betteshanger [Country] Park. This site was originally Foulmead Marsh, and then the spoil heap for Betteshanger Colliery. The pit opened in the late 1920s and closed in 1989. Fowlmead Park and nature reserve opened here in May 2007. When it was taken over by the Hadlow Group in May 2015, it was renamed Betteshanger Country Park. More recently the 'Country' has been dropped.
