East side of structure, Robin Hood Pit, Flimby Colliery
Flimby Colliery opened in 1855 and closed in 1909. In 1900 it employed 387 men - 290 underground and 87 on the surface. It opened with a rail connection to the coast, which was later extended inland to Broughton Moor. It is near the centre of Great Flimby Wood. This structure is at the original end of the railway line to the coast and is shown on the large-scale OS map surveyed in 1864-5. Perhaps connected with loading the coal wagons?
