Monument record TR 26 SW 75 - Chislet Colliery

Summary

The colliery was developed from 1913 and by the 1980's coal working was finished in the area. The two shafts that were sunk lay at the edge of the viable coal seams, necessitating the construction of lateral working from the shaft base, extending a maximum 3 miles to the south east from the colliery
