Field study on the pits around the Hartside road at Jailhouse corner youtu.be/EldgJiPAYGs


We are almost sure this is the old Priest Booth colliery on Dulesgate between Bacup and Todmorden. Appears on plans as Ancient roadway, later the area was worked by Temperlys for fireclay and coal under the guise of Saunder Clough. Colliery. Now site of Observatory
